Should you tip a golf pro for repairing your grip?

I went to a local course to get my driver regripped and had to wait on the course pro to finish a lesson.  He runs a club repair business on the side, and he was technically supposed to leave at 6, but stayed over just to get my club regripped right then and there.  I was caught off guard because I was expecting to just leave it.  He charged me the price of the Golf Pride grip, and nothing to replace it.  I paid him, but afterwards I wondered if I should have tipped him.  I kind of felt bad because he said he would replace it right then and there without hesitation.

Thoughts?

Oh, and long time reader, first time poster.  I like this forum, just wish it was compatible with Tapatalk.

It is.

Also, what did you pay for the grip? He may have added a little bit in there to account for his time. We only add a dollar to ours, for example.

$11 for a Golf Pride New Decade.  That was the price on the grip before I even talked to him so maybe that price was install included? (I see I can get it for 8 online)

edit: And thanks for telling me it is compatible with Tapatalk, I didn't see it when browsing general golf forums through Tapatalk

And since you are an admin I'll just say that this is one of the best non-vbulletin 3.8 forums I have been on, really well done.

I'm partial to my vbulletin though ;)  Nice website.

That seems likely. We charge $7.50 with removal/installation included for our PURE grips. :)

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
