What is Golf?

Golf is a sport where players use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes on a course in as few strokes as possible. Unlike many sports, golf does not require a standardized playing area, and coping with the varied terrains encountered on different courses is a key part of the game.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Golf?

Yes. Golf can result in injuries such as sprains, strains, or being hit by a golf ball. If you’re traveling abroad for tournaments or leisure, travel insurance helps protect you against medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
