The ladies' tour has been penalizing slow play for quite awhile. Probably Michelle Wie's first "rules violation" was a slow play penalty perhaps when she was 15 or so. Michelle played very quick then compared to the rest of the ladies. Her problem was that she was out driving them by over 50 yards. When she began playing tour events she would walk forward to her ball and be ready to play. The ladies began to complain about her being a distraction, so she began to wait until they played before going forward. She out drives her partner(s?) by 85 yards, waits, goes forward to her ball when it is her turn, and ends up with a slow play penalty on the hole for being "polite".
