What is her elevation? If she is at a lower elevation the air pressure will be higher causing the golf ball to drop faster than at a higher elevation. so, with the information you have provided, the answer is impossible to calculate without naming an answer fo revery possible elevation.

s = a*t^2/2
1 = 10 * t^2/2 = 5*t^2
t^2 = 1/5
t = square root of 1/5

The acceleration due to gravity on the earth is approx. 9.8 m/s^2
d = v1t + 1/2(at^2)
-1 = 0 + 1/2 (-9.8)t^2
t = 0.45 seconds
