ary Klinger has won a B’nai
B’rith sports triple crown over
the past several months.
His team won the championship of
the Brotherhood-Eddie Jacobson bowl-
ing league this spring. He was a mem-
ber of the Temple Israel No. 6 squad
that won the Greenberg Division title
in the Inter-Congregational Men’s Club
Summer Softball League.
Also this summer, Dale Taub and
Klinger won the team championship in
the B’nai B’rith golf league.
The golf title arguably was the most
unexpected.
“Neither Dale nor I had a great sea-
son,” Klinger said. “It seemed like we
got a lot of breaks, like facing a team
that was struggling. But the bottom
line is we got the ‘W’s.”
Klinger and Taub have teamed up in
the golf league the last three seasons.
They also won the team title in 2016.
How did they do in 2017?
“Not very well,” Klinger said. “It
seems like it’s all or nothing for us.”
This was the sixth season for the golf
league and its fifth at the Links of Novi.
“We’ve signed a contract. We’ll be
back there next year,” Klinger said.
There were 22 golfers this summer,
the most in league history.
“That’s a good number. A perfect
number,” Klinger said.
The season went on for 17 weeks on
Thursday afternoons. Golfers played
nine holes each afternoon.
Here are team standings:
1. Gary Klinger/Dale Taub
2. Larry Shapiro/Matt Brand-Al
DiPaolo
3. David Swimmer/Jody Mendelson
4. Steve Lotzoff/Art Hurvitz
5. Mike Klinger/Kerry Chaben
6. Howard Genser/Lyle Schaefer
7. Dave Riger/Marc Ruskin
8. Mark Baron/David Shevrin-David
Lubin
9. Mitch Lefton/Stu Zorn
10. Rich Luger/Richard Spalter
There also was an individual com-
petition in the league, which was won
by Swimmer. He was followed by
Shapiro, Gary Klinger, Taub, Lefton,
Mendelson, Brand/DiPaolo, Schaefer,
Hurvitz, Mike Klinger, Lotzoff, Baron,
Riger, Chaben, Zorn, Luger, Ruskin,

FALL SOFTBALL
They’re off and running in the Inter-
Congregational Men’s Club Summer
Softball League’s fall season.
Six teams once again are in the field,
with the same managers as last year.
Teams are made up of players from dif-
ferent temples and synagogues, unlike
the league’s summer season.
“I try my best to make the teams
competitive,” said league organizer
Steve Achtman.
He then laughed and pointed out
that his team, Bad News Jews, was in
last place.
Seventy-five men are playing fall
softball, about the same as last year.
Doubleheaders will be played on five
Sundays followed by playoffs on the
final Sunday, at Community Sports
Park in West Bloomfield.
After three weeks, here were the
standings: Marble Rye 5-1, Jeters 4-2,
Homeruntaschens 4-2, Kosher Ribs
4-2, The Sandlot 1-5 and Bad News
Jews 0-6.
“We froze the first week. The last
two weeks were beautiful,” Achtman
said, alluding to the every-changing
weather of fall softball. ■
