I am just back from a weeks golfing on the Costa del Sol,great to play in the sun..no wind or rain and able to play without six layers of clothing.
However I saw something on the first tee at La Quinta that was quite upsetting.The fourball in front of me all teed off ,all golfers of a reasonable standard looking forward to a good days golf.
But as the last player left the tee he slipped on the wet railway sleeper type steps.His feet went up horizontal and he came crashing down onto his shoulder and was in a great deal of pain..so much so that an ambulance had to be called.
He and all his mates went off to the hospital,when I completed my round I saw another ambulance outside the club house,so I asked a marshall if the guy with the damaged shoulder was ok and had come back.
Sadly it turned out that another player out on the course had received a full blooded drive that had split all his eye socket open and knocked him unconscious.The point I want to make is that for gods sake if there are any of us out there who do not have any type of insurance get some ,because these unfortunate accidents can happen to any one.All the courses I played at in the region have a compulsory liability insurance for about 1.5 euros,and I also had to insure my dear lady wife who is a non golfer but acts as a part time caddie and villa expert.Please let this salutory tale be a reminder to us all..get insured.
