 When Linda represented South Africa at the 1980 World Bridge Olympics in Valkenburg, Holland, bridge became her lifelong passion. Before this pivotal moment, she served as a Chief Medical Technologist in Clinical Pathology, managing a laboratory at a children’s hospital in Johannesburg. Inspired by her international experience,
Linda began teaching bridge at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, leading three classes daily for 45 years. She represented South Africa again at the world level in 1992 and 1993. After relocating to the United States as a World Olympic and international bridge player, she further honed her expertise by attending advanced teaching courses.
She authored Bridge-Wise on conventions and defense in the 1980s and co-wrote Solid Gold Tips to Winning Bridge with Kathie Wei-Sender in 2005. A versatile player, she excels in multiple systems, including Acol, Precision, and Standard American. Now living in Florida, Linda is a dedicated bridge teacher, lecturer, and professional player, sharing her expertise on cruise ships, at country clubs, bridge clubs, and community centers in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach. For the past three years, she has been a Zoom teacher for Community Games, with lessons available on YouTube.

Play & Learn Sessions
 Come join our cozy group of just 6 tables where you'll actually enjoy improving your game! We'll dive into 7/8 hands together each week, and here's what I love about this format – everyone plays the same deals.We will discuss each hand straight after you have played it . You cannot forget what you have played while it is still fresh in your mind. You'll have that "aha!" moment when you see what you could have done differently.
The bridgemates keep score for us (no math required!), and we have a fun lucky draw each week for just $15. But honestly, the real reward is in those hand discussions where you'll start recognizing patterns and thinking like the experts do. I've seen players make months of progress in just a few sessions when they understand the "why" behind each play.
As your instructor, I'll be right there to help you spot the opportunities you might miss and guide you away from those tricky spots that can trip up even experienced players. Plus, the friendly competition keeps things interesting while preparing you for real club games.
Details: PLEASE NOTE NEW TIME! We will commence at that time on the button! Come earlier to make up partnerships and have coffee.
