Golf permits in place for dispatch (7)

I believe the answer is:

gallows

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place for dispatch' is the definition.
'gallows' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'Place of execution ' mean 'gallows' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'gallows'). I'm not certain of the 'for dispatch' bit.

'golf permits' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'permits' becomes 'allows' ('allow' can be a synonym of 'permit').
'g'+'allows'='GALLOWS'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
