This may be a dumb question, but I was curious if it is customary to tip for having my clubs regripped?

I ordered the grips at the club's pro shop and asked the head pro if he could change them for me - which he happily agreed to do.

I just dont want to insult him either way.

If they charge you to replace the grips I'd say no tip is required.  If you just pay for the grips, then I'd give the guy something for doing you the favor.

I know this is an old topic, but I would say “heck no” on a gratuity.  
 

I literally just re-gripped my clubs last week.  I wanted to support my golf club, so I asked what they would charge.  For a Winn Dri-Tac, it would have been $12 per club.  I told them I put them on myself, but they said the charge was the same whether they put it on, or I did.

I got the grips elsewhere for $7.00 and did it myself.  Mind you, I already had grip tape and solution to use.

I’m guessing they mark the prices up enough to cover their labor charges.

On a side note, I find re-gripping my clubs to be satisfying.  In a weird way, it makes me feel like I am taking care of my clubs.  It’s fairly simple and I don’t even use a vice or an air compressor.    Yeah, it might take me 2 hours to do it by the time I get all the old tape off and clean the shaft, but it’s just soothing to me.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
