Players in the Thursday Pro-Am (mentoring) game are up for something new and fun starting September 20, when they’ll learn to compete in a Swiss team game. “Players can come with their regular partners and I’ll put them with another pair to make a team for the day,” says Director Gary Chaney. Swiss team games will be held the third Thursday of every month through December, or longer depending on how much players like them.

Lee Baatz will teach Swiss team strategy and scoring at the noon mini-lesson before the first game. “It’s the same bridge you’ve always played,” says Lee, “but bidding and playing strategies are a bit different. Whether or not you attend the lesson, you’ll quickly learn what’s new.”
