Audrey Grant’s Better Bridge Presents

An Introduction to Bridge at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club

About the Event

The first four lessons in the Introduction to Bridge series give the tools to be able to play bridge. The first lesson introduces the game to those who have never played. The information in also useful to those with some experience because it includes basic concepts, which can be missed yet are important to improve our game.
Lesson One: The Mechanics The first lesson puts you at ease with what you need to know to sit down and have a basic game of bridge. Even after this two hour class, you will be able to play, practicing the mechanics.
Lesson Two: Notrump Opening Bids and the Subsequent auction Notrump opening bids are a priority. From this start the partnership is in a position to have a comfortable bidding conversation. You can practice and be ready to add a few conventions as you become familiar with the goals of the bidding conversation.
Lesson Three: Major Suit Opening bids and the Subsequent auction Major Suit Opening bids start by suggesting the partnership play with either hearts or spades as the trump suit. Key points for deciding how high the partnership should venture are included.
Lesson Four: Minor Suit Opening bids and the Subsequent Auction When the hand isn’t suited for a notrump opening or for opening with 1 or 1, the next choice is to open with 1 or 1. When you come to this lesson, you’ll be aware that it’s important to know how to have a conversation with partner after any bid and to understand the conversation that the opponents are having. Conclusion These first four lessons put you in a good position to be able to play with other others who are at the same level as you are. You’re ready to play, and to continue to learn.
Bridge Basics, the Mechanics, will be held at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club. The lesson includes textbooks and complimentary access to practice deals through the Audrey Grant App.
