Golf

The PGA Tour’s controversial instant replay for pro golf tournaments is a thing of the past, Commissioner Deane Beman said.

Beman said the Tour’s Policy Board ruled unanimously “that the players be fully responsible for their actions and scores.”

In effect, it puts the administration of the rules of golf and the calling of penalties back in the hands of the players themselves.

The commissioner said the players must “recognize that the rules of golf must be administered to the letter, regardless of the source of the information.”

He said those sources will continue to include other players, spectators, officials and telephone calls from television viewers.
