“Covered. Insurance Essentials for Indoor Golf Operators & Suppliers” goes live Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 11 a.m. ET
The Indoor Golf Alliance (IGA) will host a free, 60-minute live webinar, “Covered. Insurance Essentials for Indoor Golf Operators & Suppliers,” on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 8 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. MT / 10 a.m. CT / 11 a.m. ET. The session gives simulator venue owners, manufacturers, distributors and installers a practical guide to the coverage their businesses actually need.
Indoor golf has grown from off-season practice rooms into multi-bay entertainment venues with bars, leagues, corporate events and youth programs. Launch monitors, projectors, enclosures and build-outs can put six figures of equipment in a leased space, and every new revenue stream brings a new exposure. A generic small-business policy written for a retail store can leave gaps in exactly the places an indoor golf business is most likely to have a claim.
“Most owners don’t find the hole in their policy until the day they file a claim,” said Phil Immordino of the Indoor Golf Alliance, who will present the webinar. “A participant exclusion in your general liability, no liquor coverage behind your bar, or bays insured at depreciated value can turn a bad night into a business-ending one. This hour is about finding those gaps while there’s still time to fix them.”
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify where indoor golf claims really start, from ball strikes and ricochets to slips, alcohol incidents, equipment failures and data breaches
- Build an operator coverage stack: general liability without a participant exclusion, property including tenant improvements, equipment breakdown and business interruption
- Insure simulator bays at true replacement cost and avoid coinsurance penalties
- Close the liquor liability gap and understand assault and battery exclusions
- Protect products and installations with products-completed operations, inland marine and technology E&O coverage
- Navigate contracts across the landlord–operator–supplier chain, including additional insured status, waivers of subrogation and indemnification, plus a five-step first-24-hours claims playbook
The webinar is designed for simulator lounges, multi-bay venues, golf academies, bars with bays and clubs adding simulators, as well as the manufacturers, distributors, software providers and installers who supply them. Everyone who registers will receive an operator coverage checklist, six questions to ask their insurance agent, and the slides and recording.
The session is for general education only and is not insurance, legal or tax advice. Attendees should review their own coverage with a licensed insurance professional.
