How much should I tip a golf pro for lessons?

I’ve signed up for a series of 7 lessons with a golf pro (3 @ one hour, and 4 @ a half hour). The cost is only $200. I was wondering… How much should I tip? Also, should the tip be given at the end of each lesson, or should I lump 20% of the 7 lesson package cost and give it out after the first lesson, or last lesson? I’m clueless, help!

    Do you tip cashiers at the supermarket for just doing their job?

    Looks like you got a smoking good deal on your lessons… I’d recommend tipping $5-10 each lesson and definitely refer friends to him/her if you feel they’re a good instructor.
    What many people don’t know is that a lot of golf pros pay a percentage of their fee to the facility they work at. For instance, 20% of my lesson fees go to the club.
    Happy Golfing!
