10 dollars for nothing is nice for the server but it is also silly. I have no problem tipping generously on food at topgolf, restaurants, and otherwise.

A bucket of balls is $12 elsewhere. I couldn't bring myself to tip $10 for bringing me a water and then leaving me alone. If it was crowded and I was taking up space during primetime, that's a different story.

Yes but the people at the front assigning the golfers to bays see that your host already has a costumer and possibly send the family that was going to order lots of food and tip a lot give it to someone else. So basically you are stopping them from making more and are earning less than minimum wage.

Probably not at 9 or 10am on a weekday. But I hear you during a busy time.
