how would i go about getting permission to shoot on land ?

Knock on doors
Dont phone
Be polite
Make sure you know what your talking about
Make sure your insured
Be prepared to be knocked back alot
Dont turn up with your gun or in full camo
You can also try and find out about there land and what they use it for, as a lot of farms now supply supermarkets and dont want there crops damaging by either pests or people shooting there caggages or whatever they grow.
If they have livestock make sure they wont be spooked or injured when your there.
You may also find that there is already someone already has permission on the land.

thanks johnnyboy so far ive emailed a few golf courses in the area

Golf courses are good but your time on them is very limited with people playing golf from early morning till sundown.
I know a guy who waited three years to get on my local one.

Echo what Jonnyboy said.

and about being prepared to be refused a lot. Farmers usually have lots of friend they know with guns, so they will be a bit offish to start with, especially if they don't know you, It may take you some time to build up a bit of trust, the best way is to go with someone who has already permission to shoot, and build up your reputation like that.

Easiest way is to join your local airgun club, get a reputation as a good shot who is pleasant to be around, and get invited along with someone.
