Is it considered proper ettiquette to tip a golf instructor? I generously tip waitstaff when I dine out, but I don't tip the hardware store employee who explains how to fix something. I tip a cab driver, but I don't tip the person who bags my groceries. I am just wondering where golf instructors fall in the tipping category.

They probably do not expect it but consider the totatlity of the lesson before you decide to tip or not.
I got to an instructor who, while many times is running late, is a wonderful teacher. He has helped me a great deal - as a teacher is supposed to, but his lesson NEVER is just 30 minutes. It is generally 40 -60 minutes and then he always ends by saying to stay as long as I want and hit balls.
In my opinion, I think those efforts are worth a tip.
There have been times when it has been just a 1/2 hour because I have had to go for some reason or another and those times I have not tipped.
Oh yeah, he charges $40.00 per 30 minute lesson and I might tip $5 or $10

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Not sure if they expect it or not, but these guys are professionals in golf instruction. For the fee they charge, I don't think they should gets tips.
ps. People who bag groceries sometimes get tips. Guess it depends on where you shop.

No Way, first off they make more than enough.
secondly you tip people who are "SERVING" you in any way
be it a waiter or a cabby.
i think tipping a golf pro would be boderline insulting
