Is your travel insurance below par?

An astonishing 25 per cent of travellers still leave home without any travel insurance, according to the British Insurance Brokers' Association. This is a frightening figure but the worry doesn’t end there. Of the ‘insured’ 75%, how many have the cover that really meets their needs. This is especially true for golfers. While you'll survive losing your suitcase, your holiday will be ruined if your golf gear doesn’t turn up or is damaged.

Some travel policies have a golf option but most provide insufficient cover for golfers with golf equipment only covered up to £1000 and no provision for the hire of golf clubs to at least get you on the course. What about facing a delay at the airport? Another event you’ll survive but you may well miss a pre-booked tee time slot from which you may not be compensated for with most travel policies.

Of course the really serious reason to purchase travel insurance concerns medical emergencies. Without cover you genuinely may not survive a major medical emergency abroad - it's a vital purchase especially on the golf course where the risk of getting hit by a wayward ball is greater than on the beach! Unless you have selected the golf option you won’t be covered.
