Am watching the LPGA US Open at The Olympic Club on TV and noticing slow play that is not getting called out.  The featured group this afternoon has Brooke Henderson in it and she has to be the slowest.  After her 2 playing partners hit their shots, she and he caddie then start to figure out distance and club selection.  Announcers merely observe 'they really work it out' instead of calling out the fact that she had time to at least figure out the distance if she was playing third.  Is it the difficulty of the Olympic Club that the players are getting a some slack or are they not getting timed and warned anymore at a US Open?  This is an honest question. 

Driver: Taylormade M3 (9o) with Mitsubishi Tensei Blue 65 Stiff-flex shaft.  3-wood: Tour Edge Exotics CB2 (15o) with Fujikura Regular-flex

3H: Tour Edge (18o) with R-flex 80g shaft.  4H: 22o  Taylormade Rbz Stage 2 with R-flex shaft.

Irons (5-PW): Titleist 804os with True Temper reg. flex shaft.  Wedges: 50o deg Titleist SM-7 12o bounce F grind, 56o (bent to 54o) Cleveland RTG sand wedge, Cleveland RTX-3 CB 58o wedge 9o bounce.

Putter: TaylorMade Ghost Monte Carlo w/Super Stroke 2.0 grip

The USGA uses a time par and a positional time to determine if you’re out of position.

Brooke is slow.

Brings out the need that there is for someone to actually say out loud "WHILE WE'RE YOUNG!!!"

So. slow play. These women are so talented and so good. Makes me think I'd score better if I slowed my pace of play.  There are the best players, surely they are taking the optimal time to score their best! (?)

Watching this featured group with Brooke, Patty, and Lexi is excruciating.

I would go nuts playing with someone as slow as Brooke.

Same here, dude.  I'd be pulling my hair out playing at that slow pace.

...and the whole group just got put on the clock (for the second time today apparently).  Not surprised at all.

Brooke also knowing how slow she is stunted her walking speed to her sister(caddy) so she could have more time.
