Golf Insurance
By Chris J Jenkins
Some of us may think by enjoying a round of golf in the countryside, we might be minimising our risk of becoming yet another crime statistic. However, recent research has shown that thefts of golf equipment have increased over the past two years.
It’s clear the temptation to steal potentially thousands of pounds worth of golf equipment is too much for some individuals to handle, which is why clubhouse, golf shops and golfer’s cars have increasingly become a target.
With the sport increasing in popularity this trend looks set to continue as more and more people take to the course in the latest designer golf gear with state of the art clubs, making them an ideal target for thieves.
The message is clear: if you pay for top notch golf equipment it’s worth spending a little more for adequate, specialist golf insurance. Golf equipment thefts, ranging from vehicle break-ins to forced lockers in the clubhouse have increased substantially over the last year.
Golf has become a fashionable game, with the likes of celebrity film stars and DJs, as well as keen golfers, investing in designer brands and high-spec equipment. However, with increased investment has come increase in thefts. A full set of clubs, bag, and trolley today is easily worth up to £1,500, but it can be much higher; and yet many of us golfers fail to have the appropriate insurance cover to protect against thefts from vehicles or the locker room.
Golf insurance can cost as little as £30 a year which will insure both you and your clubs, providing insurance protection against theft each time you go to play golf. Specialist golf insurance provides essential protection, giving added peace of mind each time you step out on to the course. Golf insurance providers can offer a range of cover to suit the budget and needs of all golfers, providing cover for loss, theft, or damage of golf equipment; personal liability; personal accident; accidental damage to property; golf equipment hire; club subscription reimbursement and some even have a hole-in-one cover, to pay for the bar bill.
