RULES QUESTION

Do you have a rules question? If so, e-mail me with it and I'll post it on this blog.

During play, my partner's ball ended up in a hazard, but it was playable. Before he hit his shot, he took three practice swings. Each time, his clubhead brushed the grass inside the hazard line. Is there a penalty for this?

The "Note" under Rule 13-4 states that when a player's ball is in a hazard, it's okay for her or his club to touch grass, brush or other natural growth, as long as she or he doesn't ground the club (let it rest on the ground).
