Multiple Australian National Champion and representative Peter Hollands shares why he thinks bridge is awesome.
I like that you meet people from all walks of life, different ages, different backgrounds ... but they're smart and they like games and they know they HAVE to work hard at partnership skills and be a nice person or nobody will play with them. There is a huge range of skill levels and experienced players know how long it takes to get really good so they won't be judging you. Anyway, NOONE ever stops learning this game! Beginners should not be put off. There are competitions now for Novice players. I love bridge. "I'd rather be playing bridge" should be engraved on my tombstone.

you get a whole new family when you start playing bridge
There are loads of bad players....
When your spouse forgives you again and again and again, and again and again and again, you realize how much love you share.
yes but you need to find people who will play with you, kind of hard when you play so bad that no one will play with you
Lessons are great You keep finding better partners
it is awesome because it can be played at a lot of different levels and still have the the same exhiliration.
