You duck into the clubhouse for a quick drink after the round, boot's locked, clubs are out of sight under a cover. Twenty minutes later they're not. Car park theft is one of the most common ways golfers lose a set — and often the most avoidable, if only because nobody expects it at their own club.
Why club theft claims can be tricky
A full set, bag and trolley adds up to real money, especially with a few newer clubs in the mix. Insurers assessing a theft claim want to know exactly what was in the bag — brand, model, and roughly how new each club was — which most golfers have never actually written down.
It's also easy to under-insure golf gear on a standard contents policy without realising it, especially once you factor in a good bag, a trolley, and any accessories worth claiming for too.
What makes a claim easier
- A photo of the full set, bag and trolley
- Brand and model for each club, especially newer or higher-end ones
- Purchase receipts or a rough price and date
- A record kept somewhere other than in the car with the clubs
Where My Asset Mate comes in
My Asset Mate's Sports & Fitness category lets you log your set properly — photos, brand and model, what you paid — kept safely on your phone, and in the cloud too if you choose. It's a Premium category, and every account gets a free one-month Premium trial to get your bag sorted.
If the clubs do go missing from the car park, you've got a real list ready for the insurer, not a guess at what was in the bag.
Ten minutes logging the bag beats trying to remember every club after the fact.
