Barbara Nicklaus hailed as 'angel of Muirfield Village' at Memorial honoree ceremony
Barbara Nicklaus hailed as 'angel of Muirfield Village' at Memorial honoree ceremony DUBLIN, Ohio — The First Lady of Golf got an earful from the Golden Bear, and the musical serenade brought the house down at the Barbara Nicklaus honoree ceremony at Muirfield Village. After several members of the Memorial Tournament Captains Club, including Jack Nicklaus II, spoke glowingly of Barbara, and before the honoree addressed the adoring crowd, a video was shown of Jack Nicklaus singing the Johnny Mathis song 'I married an angel.' 'You didn't know I was a singer, did you?' Nicklaus joked as the crowd of about 1,000 in stands behind the practice range roared. Barbara thanked her husband – 'You're the best thing to ever happen to me' – and pointed out that Jack allowed her to be her own person. Jack then stepped to the lectern and waxed poetic about his wife of almost 64 years, saying that 'for 65 years she's been my conscience. … She's a special lady.' Barbara and Jack, both 85, met their freshman year at Ohio State, married in 1960 and moved to Florida in 1966. She is from Clintonville. He is from Upper Arlington. Jack shared several stories about his wife, including how she has always been quite the prankster. One of her favorite moves was dropping rubber insects into friends' drinks. She once put rubber ants into Tom Watson's glass of ice tea. Barbara kept her 'Phantom' identity under close wraps, but could not hide her generosity and sweet spirit. 'She never met a stranger,' Jack said, wiping away tears. Jack II called his mother 'a reluctant honoree' who is 'most comfortable when those around her shine.' Charlie Mecham, a longtime friend of the Nicklauses, said, 'If Jack is the heart (of the Memorial Tournament), Barbara is the soul.' Barbara Nicklaus is known for her charitable work, most notably Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Florida. After former Dispatch golf writer Bob Baptist was honored with the Memorial Golf Journalism Award, PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan mentioned how Barbara Nicklaus has been the driving force behind the Memorial Tournament having donated $41 million back to Nationwide Children's Hospital through the years. 'You know the water cooler talk about who is the greatest of all time, well I'm in the camp that says Barbara is in the conversation,' Monahan said.

Columbus Marathon 5K, 1 Mile races renamed to recognize Jesse Owens
The Columbus Marathon 5K and 1 Mile will no longer exist. But don't panic — it's only because of a name change. Previously known as the Columbus Marathon 5K and 1 Mile honoring Jesse Owens, the races have been rechristened the Jesse Owens 5K and 1 Mile, according to a press release. Advertisement The name was changed to better recognize the Ohio State legend, who made history at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin by becoming the first person to win four gold medals in a single Olympics. The former Columbus Marathon 5K and 1 Mile honoring Jesse Owens, now called the Jesse Owens 5K and 1 Mile, will kick off the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & Half Marathon weekend in October. The 5K and 1 Mile are the kickoff to the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon & Half Marathon weekend, which will take place Oct. 18-19. Other changes for 2025 include upgrading the 5K to a USA Track & Field-certified event and holding it entirely on downtown Columbus streets. The changes came at the recommendation of Owens' family to improve the race experience and broaden the event's appeal, Columbus Marathon race director Darris Blackford said in the release.

It's a deadly decision for parents to pass down their cars to teens, study warns
Hand-me-down wheels or a deathtrap on wheels? Passing down vehicles to teen drivers could be a recipe for disaster, according to a new study from Nationwide Children's Hospital. Researchers found that teens driving cars 6-15 years old face a 19% higher risk of death in a fatal crash than those driving vehicles five years old or newer. And if the car is over 15 years old, the risk jumps to a staggering 31%. 'Families should be advised to prioritize safety features when choosing the first car for teens, ensuring it is newer and safer, given the increased involvement of teen drivers in motor vehicle crashes and motor vehicle crash-related fatalities,' lead researcher Jingzhen Ginger Yang told Newsweek. 3 Hand-me-down cars or ticking time bombs? Giving teens older vehicles could spell danger, a new study from Nationwide Children's Hospital warns. Giddrid – According to the study, teens are more likely to drive older cars that lack essential driver-assistance tech like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance and blind-spot monitoring. Each of these features is associated with a 6% reduction in driver death risk during a fatal crash, the study found. 'Parents commonly pass their old vehicles to their teens who are still learning basic driving skills,' study co-author Fangda Zhang told the outlet. 3 Teens are more likely to drive older cars that lack essential driver-assistance tech like automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance and blind-spot monitoring. LIGHTFIELD STUDIOS – 'While it is an exciting milestone for families with new drivers, this practice increases teens' vulnerability to vehicle malfunctions, making their driving less safe.' To curb the carnage, Yang recommends prioritizing newer vehicles with advanced safety tech and regular maintenance if a newer car isn't an option. But even when Gen Z drivers get behind the wheel of a newer vehicle, they're still not exactly model motorists. 3 But even when Gen Z drivers get behind the wheel of a newer vehicle, they're still not exactly model motorists. Antonioguillem – In a survey of 2,000 drivers conducted by Talker Research for Distracted Driving Awareness Month, 54% of Gen Z respondents admitted to eating while driving in the past year, compared to 53% of millennials and just 32% of baby boomers — which can be distracting when behind the wheel. And it's not just drive-thru munchies — 32% of Gen Z said they'd driven while tired, 15% had a heated argument with a passenger while behind the wheel, and 13% let a pet sit on their lap while driving. The survey, commissioned by digital insurance company Lemonade, also found that only 30% of Gen Z believe their peers are safer drivers than other age groups. That's a far cry from 60% of Gen X and 63% of baby boomers who gave their own generation the same vote of confidence.
