Golf Travel Insurance
Having previously been considered a sport for the older generation, golf has transformed in recent years as a sport enjoyed by people of all ages. The inspiration of younger players such as Tiger Woods and Lee Westwood has played a huge role in attracting youngsters to the game. Golf pros make the sport look simple but this couldn’t be further from the truth as it takes a lot of technical ability and even more practice. Golf competition is generally played for the lowest number of strokes by an individual, known simply as stroke play, or the lowest score on the most individual holes during a complete round known as match play.

More about golf
Golf is a sport of repetition as the same sort of swing is used on most shots, as a result the same type of muscles are affected. The back in particular takes a lot of the strain, so it’s no surprise that back pain is the most common problem for golfers followed closely by shoulder, knee and arm injuries. Of course there is also the possibility of being hit by a stray ball, although very few golfers can claim to have been this unfortunate.
Generally speaking injuries associated with golf tend to be of a minor nature. As such the sport has been given a group 1 rating with ourselves. Still, we recommend getting suitable insurance in place so you can enjoy the game whilst guarding against costly injuries.
