March 2026 Bridge News & Recent Winners
Last month I threatened “ The Ides of March”! However, after careful consideration, I decided to skip that period of history and focus on Bridge. Bridge is a game that, as one ages, they can improve their skill, unlike athletic sports. A skill in athletic sports can be improved by frequent playing and honed over a limited period of time. In Bridge we see our mistakes and try not to repeat them. Over time less mistakes creates better playing. This consideration can probably be said about any endeavor or game that we play or practice. The first commandment of bridge is: Communication is essential in bidding. Good communications allows players to accomplish the greatest score. When playing Bridge with the Niguel Shores Bridge Club, you will be exposed to all levels of players and will sharpen your game by just listening and playing. As Sherlock Holmes once said, “The game is afoot!”
Keep learning and playing.
