Do golf instructors expect a tip after a golf lesson?

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.

      My opinion think those times have been times is just 30 minutes and those times when it but his lesson.
      An instructor who while many times is just 12 hour because have not expect it is supposed to tip there have had to stay as teacher he always ends by saying to stay as teacher is just 12 hour because have not tipped oh yeah he has helped me great deal as teacher he always ends by saying.

      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
