Safety tips for golfers

 

Whatever level of golf you play, there’s are variety of risks related to the game . These could include things like taking an attempt which accidentally injures someone, injuring yourself while playing or having your equipment lost, damaged or stolen.

With such a myriad of risks, it’s crucial to guard yourself against them with specialist golf insurance. Here are some more specific samples of why it’s essential to guard yourself against the risks on and off the course.

Have you ever hit a wayward shot?

 

If the answer’s yes – and let’s be honest, we all roll in the hay now and again – then your next mis-hit might be very costly.

Not only could your next wayward shot strike a car or a building, it could even strike another golfer. Stray golf balls are a clear hazard on the golf links and pose the foremost real threat to golfers and spectators.

Just check out what happened when Brooks Koepka mishit an attempt at the 2018 Ryder Cup, or when amateur golfer James Gordon mishit an attempt at his local course.

If you were to suffer an identical fate, you'd need the acceptable cover to guard you from having to buy the damages, which might be extortionate.

Despite what you'll think, shouting “fore” isn't enough to hide you if you hit someone. That’s why you would like Public insurance to hide you for injury to a different person, also as third party property damage.

Our specialist golf insurance provides you with up to £5m of Public insurance , meaning you’re covered if a claim is formed against you for the aforementioned incidents.

Have you ever injured yourself playing golf?

 

It’s not just the threat of injuring other golfers that you simply got to consider – there’s always the potential for other accidents.

We've seen many various sorts of incidents over the years, like golfers who are hit within the teeth by a back swing, fallen into bunkers and broken bones and golfers who are run over by golf buggies.

Our research has found that a mean 12,400 golf-related injuries require hospital treatment per annum . With our specialist golf policy Personal Accident cover means you'll be compensated for up to £50,000 if you're ever seriously injured on the course.

How much is your golf gear worth to you?

 

As you’ll be only too aware, sports equipment doesn’t come cheap. an honest set of clubs will set you back several hundred pounds a minimum of .

When you add other equipment to the equation, like waterproofs and electric trolleys, you’re spending thousands of pounds to play golf.

Like a lot of golfers, you'll presumably have collected your equipment over several years. When you’re on the golf links , you almost certainly don’t stop to believe the sheer value of this equipment that you're carrying around.

However, if your golfing items were lost, stolen, or damaged, you'll need to hand over potentially very large sums of cash to repair or replace them.

Thankfully, Golf Care offers up to £5,000 of kit Cover to stop you from having to try to to this. Our Equipment Cover protects your priceless golf gear against loss, theft and damage. Better yet, we’ll replace it on a New-for-Old basis if it’s up to 3 years old.
