Ron Channon, Managing Director of Golfplan commented: “Our aim is to unite the Golf Club
Professional, Golf Club Secretary and Golf Club Captains to bring benefit all round. We don’t believe a scheme of this kind has come to market before but we recognise, especially in these challenging economic times, that new capital equipment for a golf club is a real boost and a prize worth aiming for. Golf insurance is a long debated subject amongst these key personnel at golf club level, but all three have a key interest in the safety and well-being of all at the golf club and on the course. By raising awareness of the importance of golf insurance at club level, we hope to get the message across that all golfers have a duty of care to others before stepping onto the tee.”
He added: “We’ve taken more calls from concerned Golf Club Managers and Golf Club Professionals over the last 12 months than at any time before in our 25 year history. As professional standards at golf club level rise via such initiatives as the PGA’s Training Academy and the work of the GCMA, golf club executives are more mindful of their liability and the risks that are out there on the golf course every day.”
