PC Duplicate Bridge (Sanctioned)

Kathy Bergman

Why we should play Bridge—

“Studies have found that people who play Bridge regularly are two and a half times less likely to develop dementia. Research has shown that a game of Bridge can even boost your immune system.”

“It’s educational. You just don’t realize it because it’s so much fun.”

“Bridge is the most entertaining and intelligent card game the wit of man has so far devised.”

“Some people treat Bridge like it’s a matter of life and death, but it’s much more important than that.”

“Every hand is different. You’re always learning; if you ever get to the point where you think you’ve learned everything, you’ll never get better.”

“We have great friendships as well as Bridge games—I feel like I’m the luckiest woman in the world as I play Bridge in the afternoon with a group of friends.”
