A a planned Romp through the desert Sunshine turned into a slogging slow moving exercise in patience and survival for the big four winners in the grand slam of Golf. There were no chuckles More like a recitation of chores from Nick Price Nick Faldo Tom Kite and Fred couples after the first 18 holes tuesday in the two Day 36-Hole Chase for $1 million by the men who won grand slam events this season. A hard work. Very hard work a said the red eyed Price whose 2-under-Par 70 was the Best score of the Day on the Jack Nicklaus resort course. As an indication of How difficult it was consider that Price the pea Champion took sole control of the Lead on the 18th Hole with a bogey. C couples who shared the Lead a a ing to the 18th tee in gather Long darkness snap hooked his tee shot out of Bounds and made double bogey. Couples the masters title Holder pea player of the year and the leading Money Winner on the american tour shot 71, dropping three shots to Par Over the last two holes. Faldo the British open Winner matched Par 72, and the . Open title Holder Kite shot 75 after a terrible Day on the greens. All four subjected to wind and dust a race against the setting Sun and a at the end of the Day a cold straggled in with slumped shoulders eyes red from the blowing dust and staring into the distance. With Only four men on the course playing in a foursome they barely beat darkness. It took 5 hours 25 minutes to Complete 18 holes. A five and a half hours is about As fast As you can play this course a Kite said. A a it a a very difficult course there a great distances from Green to tee you re delayed in finishing out the holes a he said. Quot and sometimes they hold you up waiting for the cameras to get in position a Faldo added. The tournament was to be televised on tape delay. In All it turned what was projected As a fun filled afternoon into a frustrating chore. A Well a Kite explained for himself at least a when you three putt the first Hole its pretty hard to be  and it did no to get much better for him. He one putted Only once for Par on the final Hole hit one into the water on the 15th and used 37 putts. But he was not alone in his difficulties on the greens. A except for Nick we All had problems with the Speed of the greens Quot Faldo said. Price however made enough for All of them. Included was a stretch of six consecutive one putts five for birdies. Commentary instant replay belongs Only in playoffs by Bob Oates los Angeles times the average pro game was stopped twice last season for instant replay reviews. And each week an average of five officiating Calls were reversed. That a what a different about the nil this fall. For the first time in seven years the officiating is All being done on the Field. The league voted last Spring to discontinue its flawed instant replay process this season a and so far almost nobody has missed it. There have been few controversies. Some nil people arc still nervous though. The potential for big trouble is still out there. Any playoff game could be won or lost on an officials erroneous Call. Even the super bowl game. And if that happens a if a postseason result is altered by a bad Call that Woula have been caught by instant replay a the nil will hear about it. As Denver Bronco coach Dan Reeves said the other Day a a it a ridiculous to have a tool that can Correct bad mistakes and not use  Reeves protest one of the few in the league this year was made after a recent san Diego game during which a Call went against the Broncos. Why did no to anyone hear him the biggest part of the explanation probably is that the nation s to broadcasters Arentt talking As much about officials mistakes this year. There arc no leisurely instant replay timeouts during which the to people can endlessly discuss officiating mistakes As they once did and buttress their opinions with re runs from Many angles. In a fast moving world it Isnit always what you do that counts its what seems vital to a in. And when there Are 14 pro games a week nothing that happens during one of the 14 is Likely to stir up the nation. During the instant replay debate of the last five or six years it has been insufficiently realized that there a a wide Gulf Between postseason play a in which the National focus is on one game at a time a and the regular season in which the focus is split 14 ways and thus widely diffused. Nobody in Minneapolis worries much about anything that goes wrong in Houston. By contrast cd cry fan will know it if there a a decisive officiating Blunder in the playoffs. Even though the nil seems to be proving that it does no to need regular season instant replay the process clearly belongs in the postseason.
