Holiday Insurance - Golfer "hole-in-one" cover

[Coolhand]

Just looked at my holiday insurance, and itseems that I am covered to the tune of 15,000 baht for "One-off bar expenses payable in the event of the Insured Person achieving a 'hole-in-one' whilst playing in a competition or friendly game at any recognised golf courses during the Journey on that particular day."
Its a shame that I will probably never score a hole-in-one at golf

I can just see a scam in the making! Does it have to be verified in a specific way? The boys at the MTB may be dragging you out to the course every day!

Yes:-
The Company will not be liable if:
1. the Insured Person does not supply the bill of bar expenses with a properly authenticated certificate of the 'hole-in-one' and the expenses issued by the recognised golf club.
2. the Insured Person is belowthe age of 18.
3. the Insured Person is a professional golfer.
Points 2 & 3 are no problem, so just need to work around the first. I guess a signed scorecard is not enough.

Coolhand,
I'm not suggesting that you get up to any shenanigans, but I do see the possibility of some subterfuge with this policy. Golf course owners / golf pros sometimes like the idea of free beverages for "the house", as a big part of their income comes from the take at the 19th hole.

When are going to LOS and will you be out on the golf course?

You could be there for a very long time! I find it hard enough to hit the green, let alone get anywhere near the hole ( well in golf anyway ).

I did think that this might be a chamce for an investment in a good set of Pings from China, as I could pop over there next weekend, mind you thats 6000 baht out of the hole-in-one fund.
