A lot of them have signs that it is a construction area. No trespassing.

I have an open power line meadow that people let their dogs run free. I personally would like to hit balls in my open backyard meadow but I feel that I would get into trouble somehow so I don't take my clubs out there besides all the critters that will be crawling up my legs. Dogs running free I don't mind so much. Or maybe a little chipping I've seen on the grass areas of Morse I think is passable. But hitting balls 50 - 100 yards - No.

I believe one reason for adding pitch and putts might satisfy your need. Suggest you be careful where you step if you hit balls in the power line areas.

ask the weed growers their pet coyote's and the nesting hawks

Good way to end up in court!

Yes or no??
Not sure you want to expose yourself to the power line transmission.

Powerline easements are not owned by T V. Access to TV by outsiders coming in thru the easements is not allowed at least S of 44 near my home. As there is a gate that was left unlocked and people were driving atv's thru it. T V put a lock on the gate. No signs saying you can't hit balls.

???? You’re hitting balls to nowhere. What’s the difference?

Suggest you wear your radiation badge.

It's called a practice range.

IF you have to ask....the answer most likely is a NO!! Just because you see people letting their dogs run out there doesn't make it right.

A quick check of the ownership of the property that the power lines sit on that run through St Catherine and Citrus Grove indicate that those are owned by The Village CDD.

Just do it and see what happens.
 
It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission.
