I’ve never bothered before, but since investing more money on clubs recently and hitting a wayward drive into a car park, I fancy some extra peace of mind.
+1 for Carrick Neil. I've had two claims & they settled quickly with no quibbles both times.I've used Carrick Neil for years. Brilliant when I needed them https://www.golferspolicy.co.uk/
Much cheaper to buy a Sharpie pen and write someone else's name on your golf ball ?
EG only provides cover for public liability, bot theft of equipment. Though you dont need specialist insurance just add to your household contents insurance.If a member of a club, those of us in England so part of EGU, are we not already covered when we play? If so, why have separate insurance? I used to have it then could not figure out the need so stopped.
Seperate golf insurance is only about theft of clubs then? The rest is covered?EG only provides cover for public liability, bot theft of equipment. Though you dont need specialist insurance just add to your household contents insurance.

This was my thinking but as people keep getting it I wondered if I was missing something.
My understanding, very happy to be corrected on this which is part of my initial post, is that when you play at another course your green fee makes you a temporary member and so you are covered there. Equally, if you are a member of a club and pay your EGU fees, then you are covered by them wherever you play in the UK (I just double checked that)I have it ATM until it runs out but does the home club insurance cover playing other courses

'The cover is provided for members playing at any club in the UK. There is no excess in respect of personal injury claims, and just a £500 excess in respect of damage to third party property.'
I should add, I am not dismissing taking out your own cover. I am trying to find out if there is a benefit to it or are we actually already covered and so it is unnecessary.
Mine is £61,for equipment up to £2k I think it is.Been a while since I have had insurance. Previously was a £30ish golf care one from memory. What do these cost now with clubs covered?
