Gratuity for regripping clubs?


Recommended Posts

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.
