Yeah, why would I?
I was always told that dragging a buggy into or putting a bag down in a hazard counts as a penalty for grounding club...assume that is correct, makes sense to me.
EDIT: Just checked USGA site...apparently it is ok to do what Iain did...sorry mate.
Rules 13-4 Exception
1. Provided nothing is done that constitutes testing the condition of the hazard or improves the lie of the ball, there is no penalty if the player (a) touches the ground in any hazard or water in a water hazard as a result of or to prevent falling, in removing an obstruction, in measuring or in retrieving, lifting, placing or replacing a ball under any Rule or (b) places his clubs in a hazard
