I have practiced in a waste area near a flood control dam.  It has not been developed for recreation so very few people around. I don't think it is possible to practice in my local city parks. Non golfers assume you have complete control.  The public 9 hole course I started on had a lagoon and people would walk right in front of you, all they knew is what they saw on TV. It was posted closed  except for golf, but many ignored, I guess that is another issue? Some middle and elementary schools have grassy areas around here that are not used in the summer and are well mowed.  Most of the HS have diamonds or soccer and most are fenced off.

I was wondering about this too.  What if you brought a net and a mat so you didn't take divots.  I should find out from someone the laws in my area.

If you had a mat and a net you wouldn't need to hit balls at the park.

I don't have enough room for the net in my backyard really though.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
