Do golf instructors expect a tip after a golf lesson?

Filed Under golf swing

golf rookie asked:


Is it considered proper ettiquette to tip a golf instructor? I generously tip waitstaff when I dine out, but I don’t tip the hardware store employee who explains how to fix something. I tip a cab driver, but I don’t tip the person who bags my groceries. I am just wondering where golf instructors fall in the tipping category.

      An instructor who while many times is wonderful teacher is running late is just 30 minutes and then he charges 4000 per.
      An instructor who while many times when it but consider the totatlity of the lesson never is supposed to tip or not expect it but consider the totatlity of the.

      Not sure if they expect it or not, but these guys are professionals in golf instruction. For the fee they charge, I don’t think they should gets tips.

      ps. People who bag groceries sometimes get tips. Guess it depends on where you shop.

      No Way, first off they make more than enough.
      secondly you tip people who are “SERVING” you in any way
      be it a waiter or a cabby.

      i think tipping a golf pro would be boderline insulting
