Join Fred Theurkauf along with bridge superstar
Larry Cohen and his charming wife Maria in pine,
fir, and aspen forests just south of Glacier National
Park at elegant and rustic Flathead Lake
Lodge. This meticulously kept ranch, resort, and
conference center is one the best kept secrets in
Montana’s Big Sky country. Often the retreat for U.S.
State Department distinguished visitors and military
digni- taries from around the world, Flathead Lake
Lodge has found a spot for our 2011 “Just Relax”
Week. With its unique location, nestled in a secluded bay
on the shores of Flathead Lake, the Lodge combines a
western atmosphere, with the elegance of a manicured
mountain retreat at only 3000 feet. You’ll wake to
pristine fresh air and a short walk to breakfast and
retire to brilliant star-studded evening skies. Whether
you’re sitting near the giant fireplace in the Main lodge
overlooking the Lake, or chatting with friends over a
cocktail in the Lodge’s private Saloon reserved just for
us, Flathead Lake Lodge is the perfect setting for
our tenth Just Relax Week. Come join Finesse West Tours’
Alumni & friends for a great week in Montana with an
optional outing to Glacier N.P. or the Montana Bison
Range, sensational dining, bridge activities galore plus
lectures and Q & A with Larry Cohen.

Larry Cohen - Bridge Expert Extraordinaire
Cost: Included
Larry Cohen has done it all in the world of bridge. As a
player, he has won 25 National Championships and a
multitude of prestigious events worldwide. As a writer,
he is most known for his best seller on the Law of Total
Tricks. He has written many other books, magazine
articles and bridge software as well. Larry also appears
in two monthly columns in the ACBL Bulletin: The ‘Real
Deal’ and as a panelist on ‘It’s Your Call’.
In spite of his successful career at playing and
writing, it is teaching bridge that Larry loves most.
Ironically, his first big teaching appearance was way
back in the mid-1990’s when Finesse West Tours invited
Larry to Sea Island, Georgia. From there, he went on to
teaching local classes, land seminars and serving as the
host and guest lecturer on more than 25 cruises
worldwide. He is well known for his “Vugraph Projection”
method where the students can see and follow on a large
video screen. Also, his presentations are always filled
with humor and a practical, easy-to-follow approach.
Cohen is not just about teaching and then
retiring to his guest room. He prides himself on being
available 24/7 for interaction with students. No question
is off limits—Larry even welcomes questions about Fred
Theurkauf(as long as it’s personal).
While not playing, writing or teaching, Larry
enjoys hiking and golf and spending time with his lovely
bride of 11 years, Maria. Come join Larry Cohen at
Flathead Lake Lodge.
