Winter 2015
Mentoring Program to Start
The ever popular Mentoring Program will start again on January 15th. We will kick off
the program in 2015 with a great three-lesson series of Two-Over-One by Hal Binder.
Two-Over-One Game Force is simply an adaption of Standard American bidding. It is
now considered mainstream by most players. Whether or not you have been using
Two-Over-One, it is important that you understand this convention to understand the
opponents bidding.
Two-Over-One is such an important topic that each lesson will require at least one hour
before we begin the supervised and critiqued play of the hands.
New Sign-Up Procedure: Sharon Rippy will be at the club on January 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and
9th for sign-ups. The cost of each class is the regular card fee of $9. The full cost of the
series ($27) is due at sign up. The last day for signing up is January 12th at the club.
