No grouches please! Play as much or as little as you like.

The Teacher
Dennis is a Grand Life Master of the ACBL. He has won more than 12,500 masterpoints as well as the Bronze Medal at the 2003 Senior World Championship, a national championship and almost 200 regional events.

To quote Eddie Kantar, member of the Bridge Hall of Fame, “I have worked with Dennis on several bridge seminars and have watched him in action teaching classes. He is an excellent teacher - very clear with just the right amount of humor. I was very impressed and glad to be sharing the spotlight with him.”

The Resort
Nestled on a barrier island off the Georgia coast, the Jekyll Island Club opened in 1888 as a hunting retreat for America’s wealthiest families. A restoration in 1986 revealed the club’s original beauty and elegance, and can be seen in the leaded art glass, ornate woodwork, and Rumford fireplaces. Victorian charm permeates from the lofty tower to the encircling verandas and original heart pine floors. It is rated among the top 500 resorts in the world by Travel & Leisure.

Recreational opportunities abound, from carriage rides and historic tours to 63 holes of golf, walking along 9 miles of unspoiled beach or bicycling through the maritime forest. For more information visit the resort’s website.

How to Get There
Jacksonville is the nearest airport and is served by Southwest Air among others. Ask about shuttle service from the airport when you make your reservation.
