A man from Dumfries Tennis Club has been recognised by the sport’s national governing body for one of the most prestigious awards in Scottish tennis.
Michael Goldie is a finalist in the volunteer of the year category at the Tennis Scotland Awards. Throughout the year he dedicated his time to assisting in running the club, retaining members, keeping coaching affordable and making tennis pleasurable for all members of all abilities.
The 53-year-old always enjoyed watching and playing sports from a young age but it was not until the 2016 and 2017 when Michael decided to complete level one and level two tennis coaching qualifications followed by a refereeing qualification in 2018. He is currently undertaking level three to help grow tennis at the club and the region.
