Fifteen points per month, that’s the goal that will
get me to Gold Life Master before the end of the year. 6.36 points, that’s how
many I had on Sunday, Aug. 19. Eleven more games left this month. Can I get to
15?
No
progress on Monday with Judie Bailey, despite winning the auction on 15 of the
27 boards we played. Missing two slams – one by going to No Trump instead of
Hearts, the other by giving up a game level – didn’t help. 43.03%. Even a 50%
game wouldn’t have earned us points.
Dotty
May, hampered by a shoulder injury from a fall while gardening, had trouble
putting cards back into the boards, but she was sharp on defense Tuesday. Good
thing, because our hands seemed weaker than usual. (And they were. A survey of
the hand records shows that we held the majority of the high card points only
seven times. Overall average point count: 17.89)
Playing 27 boards again,
we won only six auctions, but our stinginess to our opponents earned us four
tops en route to a 55.47% game. Third East-West, second in the B strat. 1.67
points, thanks to all these games at the Airport Bridge Club being North
American Pairs qualifiers. August total now stands at 8.03. Nine more chances
to earn seven more points.
