Ask Linda 1931-Holding club next to body to help with alignment

Dear Linda,
Several ladies in my golf league have recently learned that placing (then removing) a golf club on the ground prior to hitting to help with alignment is no longer allowed (Rule 10-2). 

One has taken it a step further, however, and now says that holding a club across mid-thigh prior to hitting is also not allowed. I've been asked to confirm with you, our guru, whether this is truly the case.

As always, we appreciate your help and thanks for all that you do.
Lulu from Canton, Georgia

Dear Lulu,

There is no Rule that prohibits the player from holding a club across any part of her body to help with alignment.
