    I'm a PGA golf instructor and it is not common to tip. Only about 10% of my students tip and most all are from the North. Maybe more common there?

      10 % is fair.

        No.

        Buy them lunch after the fact.

        Oh course, you must put forth the proper effort to improve.

        As long as you do, your tip will be lunch or dinner and referrals.

        They would be good with that. Carolina will tell you.

          Honestly have never thought about tipping... Your already paying them for the service provided.

          Although I'm on a friend level with my instructor, if you're only gonna see the guy a few times ever, maybe you can tip a bit.

            Yes dammit, tip the man....

            You should probably just go to bed with him. It may sound unconventional, but it's rather commonplace in the golfing tutorial community. This will confer gratitude while saving you some scratch on cash tips. You'll also feel more comfortable stroking it in front of him when you're out on the greens. Also, if your golf coach is Carl Weathers, be sure to shake his left hand to avoid splinters.

                  just give him a reach-around if he can lower your score by double digits.

                    I don't think tips are expected (although I'm sure they are appreciated).
