Without a doubt Ron Klinger is a keen bridge player, but when he's not playing or teaching he writes a daily bridge column for the Sydney Morning Herald and a weekly column for The Sun-Herald. Ron has played for Australia in the Bridge World Championships in 1976, 1978, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1989, 1993, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.Ron also won the Pacific-Asian Open Teams in 1970 and has won the Pacific Asian Open Pairs twice. In the 1976 World Open Teams Olympiad Ron won the Bols Brilliancy Prize for best play.

Ron Klinger's official website can be found at http://www.ronklingerbridge.com and there he shares the expertise he's developed over decades of playing bridge, much of it for free. His long career as a bridge teacher has seen him teach players of all levels of experience and he welcomes anyone with an interest in bridge and a desire to improve their game.

Ron continues to post reference articles, quizzes, and problems each day on his site. They include text taken directly from his own published books, as well as content created specifically for the website.

In response to requests from his fans, Ron re-launched his website in September, 2008 to make it easier for them to use and help them learn more quickly.

Ron also operates an online store from his website, where people can buy his books and DVDs - despite the additional work the website involves, Ron is still actively continuing to write.

Ron was editor of Australian Bridge for thirteen years since 1972, making it one of world's leading bridge magazines. He was also the bridge columnist for the Australian Women's Weekly and later, The Daily Telegraph and The Weekend Australian. He is currently the bridge columnist for The Sydney Morning Herald and has a regular column in Australian Bridge magazine. He was also a regular contributor to Britain's Bridge Plus magazine.
