When you travel and play golf, it is a good idea to have a travel insurance with golf cover. It is not a question of how often you play or how great you are at playing. Everyone can have a bad day and it only takes one failed hit to harm other players on the golf course or the property. Most travel insurances don’t give coverage against anything sports or adventure related, so make sure you are protected against the problems you might face when playing golf while traveling.

The extra travel insurance features can cover things like
- yourself. When you think about golf, you think about a sunny, serene day and a peaceful non-contact game. Unfortunately the fact is that thousands of people end up seeking medical help every single year after being injured on the golf course
- other people or property. Accidentally causing damage to other people or any buildings or belongings can become shockingly expensive and happen in a blink of an eye. All it takes is one failed shot. A holiday golf insurance protects you against these expenses
- golf gear. You can also get protection against your golf equipment being damaged or stolen. A good travel insurance with golf protection also covers the possible costs caused by you having to rent equipment if you cannot use your own gear due to the aforementioned reasons
- cancellation insurance: if you have paid the green fees but are prevented from playing because of bad weather, getting sick or having an accident, or even in case of having to cancel your vacation completely, an insurance will cover your financial losses, since the green fees are usually non-refundable
- hole-in-one. you can also choose to take something called hole-in-one insurance. That is a feature which protects you from going home with a huge bar bill after celebrating your hole-in-one achievement in the traditional way by buying a round to everyone. This is handy especially in some more expensive golf resorts in Europe, where the drinks are quite expensive

There are situations which are way stranger than anything you can imagine, and believe me, these things can happen to you too. Some time ago there was this golfer who hit his ball into the rough, and ended up hitting a rock while trying to get his ball back to the green. Striking his club against a rock created a sparkle, which burned 12 acres of forest down. I wonder if that guy had an insurance. Do you have one?
