Why Do I Need Insurance?
For several years now, we’ve been highlighting the risks of playing golf without the protection of specialist golf insurance. With the theft of golf equipment now reaching prolific levels, all golfers need to be protected. In addition to theft, there is also the worry of a wayward shot causing damage or injury. All golfers, regardless of ability, run the risk of injuring another person whilst out playing golf. Every year over 12,400 golf injuries require hospital treatment so it's surprising that 9 out of 10 golfers don’t have specialist golf insurance.
In November 2011, Mr Phee was awarded £397,000 in damages when he was struck in the eye by a stray tee shot from a Mr Gordon. The golf club where the accident happened was found to be 30% liable but Mr Gordon was found to be 70% liable and therefore left having to pay damages of circa £280,000. So, with many golfers wrongly believing they are covered under their household insurance, one erratic swing could have serious consequences.
If you're a golfer you need specialist golf insurance cover. Our policies provide ‘New For Old’ cover against theft, loss or damage to your golfing equipment, damage to property, personal injury and Public Liability. The fact is, golf can be a very expensive game if it goes wrong and you don't have the correct insurance. Plus the more often you play, the greater the risk!
