I often walk up to the green with a lofted club and my putter. I chip or pitch with the lofted club and then set that club down while I putt with both hands on the putter. In casual conversation, a fellow told me that it would be a penalty to putt with one hand while holding the lofted club in the other. I have searched the rules but do not find anything about that. I did find that I could hold an umbrella in one hand while putting with the other. Am I missing a rule that penalizes putting with one hand while holding a club in the other hand?

I recommend that you ask him to show you the rule.  He won't be able to.
