Women’s golf is even worse. College on both men and women’s is unwatchable because of it

It's so bad. I try to support anything LSU so the ladies were playing so I tuned in for a bit to watch. I watched maybe three holes and had to turn it off. LSU's top player took what seemed to be a lifetime on every single putt, reading the green from all sides, readjusting her line numerous times, standing over her line in different areas, and using a plumb bob style read with her putter. She ran one by about 5 feet past on one hole and took just as much time on the 5 footer as she did the 30 footer.

Another LSU player averaged 10-20 regrips on every shot. In the little bit of time I watched, the commentators mentioned it being an issue. And I have watched a very small sample size, so I'm sure it gets talked about a lot.

I would have turned it off after seeing one girl take that much time on the green if it was someone other than LSU. I gave them a pass for a bit because it was LSU but after three holes it was pretty unbearable. I can't imagine watching an entire round.
