These gift ideas are perfect for the guy who likes spending all of his time on the greens.

20 of the best golf gifts for the dad who never misses a tee time

If you're here, then there's a good chance your dad is at the golf course right now. Or yesterday. Or the day before that. And if you're in the market for a golf gift for your dad, then stop puttering around and just shop straight from this list.

Consider what Dad appreciates about golf before you buy. Does he love competing and socializing with other golfers? Does he love the peace and quiet on the greens? Mastering a long iron shot into the wind? Once you know that, finding a good golf gift should be easier. For example, if he's all about competition, a practice putting green may help him get a leg up on his next opponent. If he's more about tossing back a few beers with friends, a golf-themed drinking game may be up his alley. And if all else fails, a gift card to a golf-lover's paradise, the PGA Tour Superstore, is always a good bet.

Whatever you decide to gift your golf-loving dad this year, these gift ideas will help him see how much he's loved — and that alone could help him light up the course.
