We might not be ready for the PGA but….
On Sunday July 12, 2015 at the Cattail Creek Golf Course in Loveland Long’s Insurance competed and sponsored a hole in the first annual Denver Scottish Rite Golf Tournament to support speech therapy for children. This charity helps children with speech and language disorders. This was a good way to spend our off hours, having fun with co-workers, friends and supporting a good cause.
Turns out we brought a ringer with us. Terri won the longest drive on hole 9.
Jack White, host of the event, explained the rules of tournament.
The charity exceeded their goals of funds raised and we had a lovely morning of golf!!!!!
Meanwhile, back at the hidden fortress…

“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
As the rain keeps coming and more water continues to collect we thought we’d share a few facts with you.
- Did you know that in the past 5 years, all 50 states have experienced floods or flash floods?
- Did you know that new land development can increase flood risk, especially if the construction changes natural runoff paths?
- Did you know most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage?
- Did you know that in most cases it takes 30 days after purchase for a flood insurance policy to take effect?
- If you live in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) or high-risk area and have a Federally backed mortgage, your mortgage lender requires you to have flood insurance.
- Just a few inches of water from a flood can cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage.
- Anyone can be vulnerable to floods, people outside of mapped high-risk flood areas file nearly 25% of all National Flood Insurance Program flood insurance claims and receive one-third of Federal Disaster Assistance for flooding.
Long’s Insurance and it’s employees are proud residents of Frederick and the Carbon Valley area and the 2013 flooding hit close to home. If you have questions about if flood insurance is right for you or your business please call, write or drop in. We are happy to talk to you today.
April 10th is National Golfers Day
Yesterday was the Rockies opener but it was also a day to appreciate golf. In honor of that we thought we share one of our games with you.
Being insurance professionals we thought we would share some trivia that interested us:
The chance of an average golfer making a hole in one has been calculated with odds of approximately 12,500 to 1. Professional golfer have a little better chance at 2,500 to 1. (Insurance actuaries)
Whether you like golf or not it is a great workout. Assuming the golfer walks rather than rides, a typical golfer weighing about 190 pounds will burn 431 calories an hour in addition to building greater muscle mass. (Health and fitness website ShapeFit.com)
It is almost 70 degrees today…are you sure it’s February?
As we enter into the month of love with record high temperatures Longs Insurance wants to remind you that while it might be hot for this time of year there is still plenty of winter fun to be had.
While today is the last day of The Steamboat Winter Carnival there are plenty more events planned for people who enjoy winter in the mountains. http://www.steamboat-chamber.com/info/events/sbcccalendarevent.winter.carnival.item.asp
If you haven’t had a chance to throw on your ice skates this winter there is still time. Enjoy the excitement of the city while gliding with your friends around the ice rink. http://www.downtowndenver.com/southwest-rink-at-skyline-park/rink-hours
