Whether part of a golf tournament, or an event in its own right, a Hole In One challenge is a great way to spice up a competition!

While the odds of making a hole in one may be quite low, there is always a chance that one of the more experienced golfers may just do it. If you are having a Hole in One competition at your golf tournament or golf day event, you may want to consider prize indemnity insurance. This will cover the insured against the cost of awarding a prize, just in case one of your golfers manages to do it.

You also have the opportunity to include ‘reinstatement’ in your policy, which provides cover for the golf prize to be reinstated if someone wins it, offering the other participants the chance to still win. The re-instated prize can only be won once.

In accordance with Hole In One insurance policy terms and conditions, the winning hole in one must be witnessed by a pre-disclosed adjudicator and for prize values of £25,000 or above, the hole will need to be recorded on video. The winner must be a registered competitor in the contest in order to qualify for the prize and their original scorecard and tournament pairing sheet must be presented for verification. Golf tour professionals are excluded.

The adjudicator must be employed in one of the following professions:

• Teacher

• Doctor

• Lawyer

• Bank Manager

• Police Officer

• Veterinarian

• Qualified Accountant

• Company Director

• Justice of the Peace

• Golf Pro

This specialised Golf Hole In One Insurance policy will give you a peace of mind during the competition, safe in the knowledge that any prizes won will be reimbursed to you by Events Insurance Services, up to the sum insured.

Hole In One insurance FAQ

What is Hole In One insurance?

Hole In One insurance (also referred to as Prize Indemnity insurance) is a type of insurance policy which is designed to cover golf tournament sponsors offering prizes to any golfer who can score a hole in one on the golf course. A hole in one is where a golfer hits the ball from the tee and it lands straight into the cup after that one hit. 

Why do you need Hole In One insurance?

Hole In One insurance is worth investing in if you are planning on sponsoring a golf tournament or competition with high-ticket items such as cars or cash prizes. It allows you to offer golfers an incentive to take part in your event without the worry of having to fund the costs for the prize yourself (as this could be rather a lot of money!)

What are the odds of making a hole in one? 

According to National Hole-in-One Registry,only 1-2% of golfers successfully score a hole in one during the year. Whilst this demonstrates how difficult it can be to score a hole in one, it’s not impossible and you don’t want to end up losing money when honouring the competition to award golfers with their hole in one prize.
