Golf insurance

Seen another post recently that mentioned insurance and it got me thinking.Who do others use for insurance? I get all the flyers in the mags that offer free gifts and rounds ect but wondered if it was actually worth doing for the actual cover itself?Who would you recommend?Cheers guys.

Insurance is not going to stop you getting hurt on a golf course. I would suggest that the money would be better spent on a megaphone and crash helmet.

I have Golfplan.  Covers all my gear new for old at home, on the course and when travelling.  Also gives me legal cover.  I've hit two people so far and not been sued, but you never know

It was meant to be show that you never know what can happen on the course, but I can see now it looks a little ropey.  Nowhere is safe

I've hit two people so far and not been sued, but you never know.

That's better then your FIR stat

I have home insurance, covers damage to the kit anywhere other than when in use. New for old upto £50,000 at home and £5,000 away from home. My policy also covers public liability. Get the right policy and dont waste your cash on golf cover.

Harsh Mr Flood, but quite fair at the moment.  My two golfer striking incidents were: -

I've been fortunate that my two 'strikes' have not caused major injury and whilst my shot was not the best the person struck has been somewhere they shouldn't be.  On a crowded course, especially one with less experienced golfers, there is always the possibility that someone is where they shouldn't be.  If that person is hit and sees an opportunity to make some money out of the incident (an unfortunate American import) then I would rather have the insurance

Chris,

You should some & play my new course on the 1st you have to look out for shot coming up the 2nd, up the 18th & down the 17th. Same when playing the 2nd

On the 3rd you have to look out for shots from the 4th, 13th, 14th. Not trying to put you off but on our 2nd outing out me & Dave asked the pro where our helmets were!!
