Players Personal Liability Insurance – important update
Golf Australia provides every member with $20m public liability insurance as part of their affiliation to Golf Australia. The insurance is not taken out by the Club, but is provided directly to everyone with a GA number by Golf Australia. Thus, any claims are made via Golf Australia website http://golf.com.au
As an individual member you are covered for public liability in the event that you are found to be negligent for causing injury to another person or damage to a third party’s property whilst playing or practising golf at any golf club or recognised practice facility in Australia or New Zealand.
There is no excess in respect of personal injury claims, and a $1,000 excess in respect of damage to third party property. It is important to recognise that this policy is a liability policy and not a general insurance policy.
Golf Club Car Park Damage:
Any member parking in the Club’s car park does so at their own risk. It is understood that damage may occur from a stray golf ball. The Club accepts no responsibility for any damage caused to vehicles parked or moving in the parking areas or entrance drive. If a player identifies that they have hit a car, it is up to the player to report the incident to the Club and deal directly with the owner of the vehicle.
Please see the below polices. Should members or guests need a copy of these polices, please go to the Coffs Harbour Golf Club website, navigate to about us and click on policies and procedures.
