Don’t Overlook Insurance When Planning Your Golf Trip

A lot of thought and preparation can go into a golf trip in planning the itinerary of courses to play, where to stay, where to eat, thinking about what clothes to pack or buy, and so on. In amongst all this, one thing may get overlooked: insurance.

Insurance will come at an additional cost, but can provide so much comforting peace of mind.

Golfers are potentially taking expensive equipment abroad where it could get lost, stolen or damaged. Many think that their household insurance automatically covers their golf gear when out and about, but this may not be the case. So it is worth checking to see if your golf gear is covered.

If your policy does not cover this, you might be interested in exploring speciality golf insurance. Not only can this support you in replacing your equipment should something go wrong, it can bring other benefits.

For example, The Insurance Emporium’s policies as well as covering new-for-old equipment replacement for up to four years from the date of manufacture, also provide coverage for unattended vehicles and personal belongings when you’re playing in or outside of the United Kingdom. Worldwide cover is included as standard for up to 90 days per year, depending on the cover type selected, with an optional benefit to extend it further.

This insurance can also cover the other mishaps that can befall the unlucky golfer such as an accident or an injury and it can also cover them for public liability (UK only for both personal accident and public liability cover).

The Insurance Emporium’s cover also includes a reimbursement for your bar bill if you make a hole-in-one when playing in a competition in the UK. The insurance can cover you for costs between £100 and £500, depending upon which level of cover you have chosen, which might make that hole-in-one moment much sweeter!

At The Insurance Emporium, golf cover is available over three policy types, titled Wentworth, Gleneagles and Portrush, which you can tailor further to suit your individual golfing needs with a range of optional benefits that you can add, such as cover for gadgets, mobile phones and clothes.
