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.

    • Fantastic selection! And very little driving between them. Fingers crossed the weather is good to you.
    • Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.
    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
