Golf Clubs & Equipment Insurance

Basically, the insurance plan covers all the implements that facilitate golfing. A casual look at the price tag on simple club indicates just how expensive the equipment is. Therefore, a comprehensive cover might help you avoid punitive charges in the costs of replacements.

However, this kind of insurance plan does not cover the wear and tear of your equipment. Further, most policies on offer do not cover theft when you are not playing golf, for example if your golfing equipment is damaged at home. Additionally, this includes theft when you are not being careful with your equipment.

Personal Injury

Interestingly, most people do not realise that golfing can be a dangerous sport. It is quite possible to get seriously hurt while golfing as a result of a bad fall. Further, there are other dangers to personal safety such as snakes or lightning. However, bear in mind that this policy does not cover injuries sustained away from the golf course.

Third Party Liability

Golf may not be as popular as soccer might be but it does have a huge following. During a swing, you may lose control of the golf ball and hit a spectator, causing injury.

Most golf clubs do not compensate such instances and hence it comes down to you to cover the medical expenses. In this case, an insurance plan will protect you from unexpected expenses.

Golf Club Membership Fee Insurance

Typically, club membership comes at a very expensive premium. What happens when you cannot play? An insurance plan can protect you against non-utilisation of your membership fee. In case you do not play in the period covered by the fees, you can claim this insurance.
