Welcome to the 2011 HSR Player of the Year Award
Welcome to the 2011 Player of the Year Award Many players are excited to get back to work to see who can make the "Playoffs" and be the next Mick Pintek Player of the Year! Last season, we introduced a new playoff format, which was successful however, our current point system did not match well with the overall principle of the format. This year, we have revised the point system to be more consistent and provide a better opportunity for all players to make the playoffs, regardless of their playing ability. Be sure to review our updated point system and guidelines below to make sure you are ready to qualify for the playoffs in 2011!

About Mick Pintek
Beginning in 2010, the H. Smith Richardson Player of the Year Award will be known as the Mick Pintek Player of the Year Award. The award is named in memory of Michael J. (Mick) Pintek Sr., a charter member of Smith Richardson who passed away suddenly on April 1, 2010 at the age of 50. Mick joined Smith Richardson as a junior member with his older brother Gary when the club was formed in 1972. Their father, Lou Pintek Sr., was also a charter member of the club who played in the first-ever foursome at HSR. Mick and Gary were later joined by oldest brother Lou Jr. in the early 1980s to complete one of the first HSR family foursomes. Both Mick and Gary represented the club during the formative years of the Jay Borck junior tournament and remained with the club throughout their high school and college years, attaining regular membership status in the late 1970s. Mick was a regular player on Sundays and the occasional Saturday when his sons, Mickey and Joe, did not have baseball games. It was Mick’s devotion to his family and his desire to be a great dad that caused him to forego Saturday golf in order to coach his sons in baseball and basketball for nearly a decade until they too joined HSR as junior members (both are now regular members). Mick’s game was sharp enough for him to qualify for numerous HSR Shoreline teams, including the championship team of 1981. He was also a member, along with his two brothers, of the 2009 HSR Shoreline team that missed winning the title by two strokes. Mick was a 6-handicap as recently as 2009. Although he never won a club championship, he did make the finals of the First Flight in the late 1980s, where he lost a close match to Andy Paules. As he turned 50 last summer, his greatest joy may have been his simplest: a nice day on the course with his two sons and his wife Donna, who is a member of the HSR women’s club. Fittingly, he enjoyed his last day playing the game he loved, with his family, on his beloved Smith, before passing away that night.
