Bridge: Sept. 24, 2023

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 18:27:38 GMT

Alfred Sheinwold, who founded this column as “Sheinwold on Bridge,” wrote wonderful columns challenging the reader to “find the criminal”: to discern who had erred. In some deals, it’s hard to find an innocent man.Today’s South opened one club, planning to bid spades twice. But North’s sequence — one diamond, then a jump to three — was invitational, and since South had only 11 high-card points and no tolerance for diamonds, he risked getting overboard if he bid a third time. Still, South stuck to his plan; he passed gratefully when North bid four spades.West led the jack of hearts, and South won and led a club to dummy’s king. East took the ace and led the king of hearts, and South ruffed and took the queen of clubs. He next tried to avoid an overruff on the third club by taking the A-K of trumps … and West discarded.South then ruffed a club with dummy’s last trump. East overruffed and led another heart, but Sou...

Ask Amy: No one likes this woman, so why must the bride include her in the wedding?

The bride and groom have the right and responsibility to plan and host their wedding according to their preferences.And yet, weddings are the public celebration of the joining of two families.

RYDER CUP ’23: The reachable par-4 16th is the highlight on a course designed for drama

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 18:27:38 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Rory McIlroy’s chances of winning the Italian Open a year ago at the Marco Simone course that will host this week’s Ryder Cup vanished when his tee shot on the reachable par-4 16th splashed into the pond right of the green.That came two days after Europe captain Luke Donald made a novice’s error by hitting the wrong ball upon landing in the thick rough, earning himself a two-stroke penalty and a triple bogey.A year earlier, Tommy Fleetwood’s bogey on the same hole meant that he ended up finishing one stroke behind the winner, Nicolai Hojgaard.If there’s one hole on the course outside Rome that is destined to be decisive in this year’s competition between the United States and Europe, it’s No. 16 — as long as contests make it that far in the match-play format.Bob McIntyre and Adrian Meronk, the last two Italian Open champions, both birdied 16 in their final rounds.“Dave (Sampson) of European Golf Design made a course fit for drama,” Marco Simone supe...
