Golfshield - Insurance for Golfers and their Equipment

Instant Golf Insurance

Fed up with looking for golf insurance and not being able to get an instant, online quote? Fed up paying too much for your golf equipment insurance? Fed up paying for cover benefits you’ll never use or need? Take a look at Golfshield - it’s been specifically created to be a more cost effective golf insurance policy for those golfers that don’t need all the bells and whistles of other policies. In fact, it only costs £38 to cover up to £2,500 of golf equipment for a full 12 months!

You choose the most appropriate level to cover your golf equipment. Golfshield offer two levels – you can insure up to £2,500 or up to £5,000 (costs just £45).

You might assume that low cost means low cover, but that’s not the case – Golfshield actually has all the elements of cover a typical golfer needs. If you compete or play aboard a lot, then it’s probably not the policy for you but it does look like a good bet for the vast majority of golfers.

Why you shouldn’t rely on home contents cover
Even if you only play at the weekends, it’s worth getting a golf insurance quote from a specialist. Many home contents policies will not provide cover for sports equipment, particularly if clubs are over a certain value or if they are taken away from the home. Many home contents policies will not cover your golf equipment when in your car.

Are you a liability?
It’s a widely publicized fact that 90% of golfers don’t have adequate insurance and this is becoming particularly important in the rise in third party claims. No longer is ‘FORE’ an acceptable disclaimer when a stray ball slices across the fairway. In 1998 high court judges ruled that shouting Fore was not enough to absolve golfers of their liability and ordered Anthony Lightening to pay compensation to another golfer that was permanently injured by one of his stray shots. Fortunately Golfshield include £2 million of liability cover with every golf insurance policy – a wise investment on the face of it.

So what do you get for your money?

• Cover against theft and accidental damage for your golf equipment and specialist clothing (including whilst in a vehicle)
• Equipment covered up to £2,500 or £5,000
• Public liability insurance and personal accident cover
• Non fault damage to third party property
• Hole in one cover
• Cover throughout the UK
• Play abroad for 28 days (at no extra cost)
• Claim back club fees if you cannot play due to accident or sickness

Golfshield golf insurance policies run for a full 12 months and you can pay by credit/debit card or pay monthly by direct debit.

We believe that Golfshield have come up with a winning idea – rather than following the norm, they’ve actually created a policy for those golfers who don’t need (and don’t want to pay for) the usual inclusive extras and it’s refreshingly easy to understand.
