XL and Affinity Team up to Cover Golf Clubs

XL Group’s insurance segment and Affinity Agency Group LLC have announced a joint underwriting agreement to offer The Affinity Club Links Program for private and semi-private country and golf clubs nationwide.

The program will provide comprehensive insurance coverage and risk management, including property, general liability, commercial auto, umbrella or excess liability, fidelity and crime, pollution and/or storage tank liability and risk engineering.

“The hands-on experience that Affinity’s leadership has working in the club industry adds additional depth and knowledge,” said Quinnon Purvis, president of the Exton, Pa.-based XL Group’s North America Programs unit. “We’re pleased to combine our expertise with Affinity’s to serve the risk management needs of golf and country clubs nationwide.”

XL Group’s Greenwich Insurance Co., XL Specialty Insurance Co., XL Insurance America, Inc. and Indian Harbor Insurance Co. will back the Affinity Club Links Program.

“This new agreement does create a strong combination,” said David Harnois, president of the Morristown, N.J.-based Affinity. “XL Group and Affinity both realize that industry knowledge and dedicated service adds to our effectiveness in managing our clients’ risks to help them protect their members, their property and the profitability of their operation.”
