Golfers, stay on course with these lesser-known tips

Whether you’re a serial golfer or someone looking to take up the sport, here are some tips that may prove useful to you.

1. Insurance is useful for a hole-in-one

One of the most interesting traditions in golf is the buying of celebratory drinks for fellow golfers after a hole-in-one. But did you know that golf insurance can actually cover the bill incurred? Clubhouses may have reinforced the tradition over time to drive up bar tabs. It could also have been established to prevent golfers from making false claims in hopes of making it to a clubhouse’s plaque or roll-of-honour.

2. Be mindful of the risks of transit

Golf holidays are becoming more common. While taking care of your golf equipment is common sense, many still tend to forget that they can still get damaged or lost during transit.

3. Never take any injury lightly

Back and wrist injuries are the most common injuries in golf, and can become long-term ailments. If it’s not properly treated, you might even need surgery and even be advised against playing the sport again. Investing in golf insurance is a good way to ensure you’re adequately protected in such costly situations, especially when long-term treatment is required.

Each year an estimated 40,000 people visited the emergency room with golf-course-related injuries and 15,000 as a result of a golf-cart "incident." — (Golf Digest, 2010)

4. Be wary of freak accidents

Freak accidents that have occurred over the years include the loss of an eye, golf cart crashes, and deaths from being struck by lightning out in the open course. If you’re a beginner learning about grip pressure, a careless slip of the hand might even result in the golf club being flung into furnishings or worst, passer-by nearby, causing damages. In such cases, golf insurance would be able to compensate for the injuries or damage caused.

Golf insurance coverage can be very helpful when the above situations arise.
