DROP A BALL

[RUSH69]

WHEN DROPPING A BALL IN THE DISTANCE OF ONE (NO PENALTY) OR TWO (PENALTY) CLUBS DISTANCE, DO I NEED TO USE AS AN OBLIGATION THE CLUB I AM GOING TO HIT THE BALL, OR CAN I USE ANY CLUB IN THE BAG?

You need to use the club your are going to hit the shot with to establish
1. If you are entitled to a drop
2. Where your nearest point of relief is.
Then, when measuring your 1 or 2 clublengths, you can use your driver or long putter.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY, DO YOU REMEMBER IN WHAT RULE NUMBER EXPLAINS WHAT CLUB TO USE TO ESTABLISH AND WHAT TO MARK?

Must get a putter head attachment for my extendable ball retreaver (only joking)

Some of these putters, you lay down twice and youve crossed the fairway!
