With over 12,400 golf injuries every year which require hospital treatment and millions of pounds worth of golfing equipment stolen, it is surprising to hear independent research claims that 9 out of 10 golfers are not sufficiently insured.
All golfers, regardless of standard run the risk of injuring another person whilst out playing golf. In April 1998 The Court of Appeal upheld a county court ruling that 'Golfers are liable for shots that cause injury, no matter how slight the risk'.
With many golfers wrongly believing they are covered under their house hold insurance, one erratic swing could leave them in financial ruin.
Isn't it about time you took out specialist golf holiday insurance? And covered yourself against, theft, loss or damage to your golfing equipment, damage to property, personal injury and personal liability.
The fact is golf can be a very expensive game if it goes wrong and you don’t have the correct golf holiday insurance, the more often you play, the greater the risk!
Golf Care has developed four levels of cover that will suit you whatever your budget or requirements

Your Duty to Disclose
It is important that all information you give us verbally or in writing in
proposing for, renewing or making changes to your insurance claim is full and
correct: and that your tell us about changes such as address. Failure to do
so could later invalidate your golf

illness) whether or not they give rise to a claim. When you tell us about an
incident we will pass the information relating to a database.
