Why golfers should consider specialist insurance?
We all love a good round of golf, but it has to be said that there are unique dangers on the courses for which insurance could prove useful. Whether it’s a mis-hit shot potentially injuring another golfer or your clubs potentially being stolen or damaged; you can’t always assume that your club membership includes all the cover you might need. Golf Care offers specialist golf insurance that understands the unique risks golfers can face, so here’s a few reasons specialist insurance might be the better option for you.
To protect your equipment
You’ve probably spent a small fortune on your equipment to get the right clubs to suit your game. Golf Care policies can protect up to £7,500 of gear from theft, loss and accidental damage on a New-for-Old* basis, so you’d get brand new replacements. Policies also cover bags, trolleys, carts, clothing, GPS devices and GPS watches - which might not be covered under home contents insurance when they’re out of the house.
To protect you
We’re all guilty of hitting the odd wayward shot, it can even happen to the pros! But one UK golfer was hit in the eye by a stray golf ball and awarded a total of nearly £397,000 in damages which both the golfer who played the shot and the golf club had to pay - could you afford to take that risk?
Golf Care policies include £10m Public Liability cover as standard to protect you from having to pay out of your own pocket should something similar happen to you. Not only that, but you’ll also get £50k Personal Accident cover in case you were to suffer a serious injury whilst out on the course.
Other cover for your round
There’s also ways specialist insurance can offer cover for the good times on the course. Ever hit a hole-in-one during a competition? It’s the Holy Grail of golf and if you’re lucky enough to strike it, we’ll cover your bar bill from the clubhouse up to £200. Also, why restrict yourself to just playing in the UK? You can easily add Worldwide cover to your policy so you can be protected anywhere in the world*.
