England Golf members and iGolf subscribers

How England Golf Members and iGolf Subscribers are protected

Whether playing, training or practising golf, accidents can happen. 

If an injury stops you from working, especially if you’re self-employed or not eligible for sick pay, the financial pressures can quickly build. 

We’ve got members covered if the worst happens. England Golf Members are protected with public liability insurance arranged by England Golf. 

Players who aren’t members of a club can still affiliate with England Golf through the MyEG platform as iGolf subscribers. It’s designed for golfers who want official handicapping and access to key golfing benefits without committing to full club membership. This group is typically made up of younger players, and it’s the fastest growing area of affiliation. 

What is public liability insurance?

Public liability insurance covers legal and compensation costs if an England Golf Member accidentally injures someone, or damages their property, and a claim is made against them. 

Claims for damages can run to millions of pounds for severe injuries, so it’s an important type of financial protection.
