MEMORABLE MOMENTS
At the ProAm game, we had this hand
Sheila and John were EW. Over N's 1C opening bid, Sheila overcalled 2H. The bidding escalated to 6C. Doubled. The pro (a nice young pro bridge player/coach) sitting North went to 6NT. Doubled. Down 7. 2000 for Sheila and John.

Barbara and Yan were also EW. Over N's 1C opening bid, Yan overcalled 4H. S double. Barbara Re-double. All pass. Opening lead was club J. Yan won the Ace and run spades to discard diamonds. On the third spade N ruffed with the King. 4H XX made for 880.

We got the 2 highest scores on this hand.

Barry and Yan were in the Swiss game on Saturday. All vulnable. As dealer, Barry opened 1C, Yan announced "could be short as 2". The next opp overcalled 3C. Yan had 14+ HCP with 5 spades, 4 hearts, 1 club and 3 diamonds. She doubles. All pass. Down 5. 1400 for Barry and Yan. Barry's club holding: K Q J 8 5. :-)

Congratulations to Barry LaFlam!


I am thrilled to announce that Barry LaFlam has achieved the rank of Silver Live master! He earned his final point for silver by partnering with one of our newest players, Wendy Gannett. Remarkably, this point also marks Wendy's very first point as an ACBL member!

Congratulations Barry!

On August 17, 2025, at the Orange Sectional, Bob Leitch's team earned enough points for him to achieve the titles of Life Master, Bronze Life Master, and Silver Life Master simultaneously.
Bob played alongside his teammates (left to right) Jan Nettler, Anita Thompson, and Sheila Ryan.
