Short game - Where?

[Hattersuk]

Just read another post about practice and it got me thinking.

I live in the centre of Glasgow in a 2nd floor flat and i am not a member of a club.

My question is, does anyone have suggestions where i could practice my short game.

I regularly go to the local range, but short wedges and chipping off mats, from a level up has nothing like the feel and response i would want from short practice. I also have no garden.

Is there anyone here who takes a tube of balls up to the local park and chips in between the dog walkers and morning drinkers to get some practice in.

Not specific to Glasgow btw.

I think you'll find that most parks will have signs up somewhere saying "No Golf permitted".
You clout somebody with a mis-hit ball and the compensation claim specialists will have a field day.
Have you got any footie pitches near you?
See how close you can chip to the penalty spot that sort of thing.

I use the local school fields when its shut every week day and all weekend are available

Our local park has a great sign.
"No Casual Golf"

So serious practice is fine then..........

Doubt we would be too chuffed if the football players came and practiced free kicks on the green!

Footy pitch is a good shout. Dont mind a short drive to one either.

Most round me are clay. Good practice for playing off a tee-side path

Either that or buy a top floor penthouse and pray i dont hit one thin
