Weekly Rule or Etiquette

Rule #20-2, DROPPING A GOLF BALL:You may stand inside or outside the designated drop area, but you need to stand erect, hold the ball at shoulder height (either directly in front of you or to the side), and arm's length and then drop the ball.  If dropped in any other manner, and the error is not corrected before the ball is played, it's a one stroke penalty.  You must not drop the ball closer to the hole.
