Anchoring in any way the club to body (Note 1) or the forearm to the body (Note 2) does not constitute a SWING. This is, after all, a game of SWINGING the club. I believe Note 2 to be more important than Note 1 in understanding this issue.
Looking to the future, children will SWING the club with all the clubs in their bag, creating uniformity within their game. I also think that the USGA, which banned croquet style putting in the 60s, would have a harder time convincing the public considering present social media etc. With croquet style, at least the arms were SWINGING...
Now the question remains: will the USGA permit a Local Rule allowing anchoring at a club level, casual events etc.?
