Woulda’, Coulda’, Shoulda’ Defense Thursday, September 13, 9:30 to 11:30a: Introduction & Opening Leads Thursday, September 20, 9:30 to 11:30a: Defensive Play during the HandThursday, September 27, 9:30 to 11:30a: More Defensive Plays during the Hand Don’t be discouraged when you miss an opportunity to take more tricks on defense. Improving our defense is a goal we work on forever!  It is complex — highly dependent on partnership trust and our own ability to imagine and count the concealed hands.  In these classes we will learn more about: Leads and carding, Maximizing your defensive winners, Recognizing and Thwarting declarer’s plan, Creating losers for declarer. The emphasis of this series is on practical experience with various defensive situations.  2 or 3 “hints” will be given at the beginning of each class and then we will play 8 hands. After each hand you will be given a “Woulda’, Coulda’, Shoulda’” analysis of the hand and the best defense for the situation. Remember, the better you defend, the more you can confidently double the opponents’ contracts! $15 per class Hand-outs with notes on hand analysis.	Phebe Packer
Tuesday afternoons – for about 1/2 hour following the game – Ron Fischer will review play, hands and answer questions you may have about any given hand. This mini-lesson is free.	Ron Fischer
