The Vieder brothers dom-
inated the B’
nai B’
rith golf 
league this summer.
Adam Veider and Ryan 
Vieder won the team cham-
pionship. Jeff Vieder won 
the individual champion-
ship and finished in second 
place in the team standings 
with Mitch Cohen.
Adam and Ryan tied for 
second place in the individ-
ual standings.
That’
s not a bad haul for 
the first season the brothers 
played in the league.
Jeff has a regret, though.
“I really focused on the 
team competition. I wanted 
to beat my brothers,” he 
said. “For me, winning the 
individual championship 
was secondary. 
“Are the three of us com-
petitive with each other? Of 
course. Will we talk about 
the golf league season? We 
will. At some point. It’
s still 
fresh right now.”
The brothers joined the 
league through a connec-
tion Jeff and Ryan have 
with league organizer Gary 
Klinger. 
They bowl with Klinger 
in the Brotherhood-Eddie 
Jacobson B’
nai B’
rith league 
and used to play softball 
with Klinger in the former 
B’
nai B’
rith league.
“It was fun playing in the 
golf league. It was a good 
group of guys,” said Jeff, 
who considers himself a 

better golfer than bowler.
“I haven’
t quite figured 
out bowling yet,” he said.
Adam, 33, is the youngest 
of the three Vieder brothers. 
He lives in West Bloomfield 
and is an emergency room 
physician.
Jeff, 36, of West 
Bloomfield, owns an insur-
ance agency.
Ryan, 38, of Farmington 
Hills, is employed by an 
online custom apparel and 
merchandise firm.
They each graduated from 
North Farmington High 
School, but they graduat-
ed from different colleges. 
Adam went to Michigan 
State; Jeff went to Walsh and 
Ryan went to Michigan.
This was the seventh year 
for the golf league and the 
sixth at the Links of Novi. 
Golfers play nine holes 
weekly.
There were 10 two-man 
teams this season and three 
substitutes.
“It was a great season for 
competition and camara-
derie,” Klinger said. “Ten 
is a nearly perfect number 
of teams. Maybe we could 
have one more team, but 
it’
s already dark and cold 
late in the round at the 
beginning and end of the 
season.”
There were 14 weeks of 
competition this season. 
Only one week was rained 
out.
