Golf is becoming an increasingly popular hobby in the
UK. Over four million people belong to golf clubs throughout the country. 1998 saw a High Court
ruling resulting in golfers being ‘potentially liable for shots that cause injury’. Whether you’re
an amateur or fancy yourself as the next Tiger Woods you could still accidentally slice a
shot and cause an accident. Could you afford to be sued should you cause damage to third party property or injure an individual with your stray golf ball?
Some people wrongly believe their household contents insurance will cover their golfing
equipment. In many instances this is not the case. A large proportion of household insurance
policies exclude sports equipment and sports injury cover meaning if anything should happen either
on or off the course you would be held financially responsible.
Our policies also offer a variety of other areas of cover. Should you be lucky enough to
hit a hole in one we will cover the bar bill. Should you be taken ill and be unable to pay your
golf club fees or be unable to play in a tournament for which you have already paid fees we will
reimburse any costs you have inccurred. As golf becomes ever more popular club fees are increasing
and people are spending more and more on equipment making it increasingly sensible to take out
insurance. According to the PGA countless people find golf more than a game but more a reflection
of life’s challenges, how we deal with them resulting in hopefully providing relaxation. For
just 7p a day you can have a relaxing time knowing you and your equipment are protected by E&L
