A little bit about Board member Peter Messer:

Peter joined Hensman in 2007 with his favourite shot being a dropshot.  He enjoys the comradeship the club provides. His highlight as a tennis player is being able to not only improve his playing skills but craftmanship around the court. He would like to see a stronger 25 to 45 year age bracket around the club.  As with many of us, his favourite tennis player is Roger Federer.  Peter has been involved in tennis since he was 6 years old and in tennis administration almost continuously since I was 25 years old.
