This class will feature more complex concepts for the advancing intermediate player. Focus on useful conventions such as weak two bids, strong two clubs, negative doubles, transfer bidding, strong major suit raises and Roman Key card. Also featured in this course will be concepts on play of the hand, signals and partnership defense.
Highlights
• Learn why every bridge player is familiar with preemptive bids — often called the “great equalizer” — but few use them to great advantage.
• Your bridge expert goes in-depth on set hands, trial duplicate sessions and bidding challenges.
• After a day of honing your skills and learning new ones, apply them during lively evenings of play with your fellow participants and new friends.

Jekyll Island
One of Georgia’s southernmost barrier islands, Jekyll Island has a storied past. At the turn of the century, it hosted an exclusive club that attracted the likes of the Astors, Rockefellers and Vanderbilts. Much of that world is preserved in a historic district near the riverfront. Today, the island is popular for golfing, fishing and kayaking.
