Is a 1 hour golf lesson enough?

A 1-hour lesson can be enough to work on a specific skill or fix a swing issue, especially for focused practice. Beginners or those wanting broader improvement may benefit from multiple sessions or package deals.

Do I tip a golf pro for lessons?

Tipping isn't mandatory but is appreciated, especially for exceptional instruction. Some students tip 15-20% or offer a small gratuity, particularly for private lessons; check with the facility for norms.
