They should not search for five minutes before doing so. They should not con- tinue to play until the players follow- ing them have passed and are out of range. You may lift your ball from a man made obstruction which interferes with your swing or stance, such as a water pipe. protective screen, or sprinkler outlet. but not from an out a bounds stake or fence. and drop within two club lengths which pro- vides the nearest relief. There are three basic ways of grip- ping the club - the vardon or overlap- ping grip. the interlocking grip and the ten finger grip. The hands must be facing each other with the back of the left hand and the palm of the right hand square to an imaginary target,',' place the club in the hand so that it runs diagonally across the palm at the angle it would assume at address. Place the club underneath the pad at the rear of the band and curve your index finger around the shaft. With the right hand facing the target slip the middle and ring fingers around the shaft, insuring that the grip of the club is against and underneath the base pads of the fingers, and that the club is resting in the fingers.
