Don’t play with fire, Jack Nicklaus told Nick Faldo a few years back on national TV. Aim away from trouble, the 16-time major winner argued. The conversation started with Billy Horschel on the tee on the 186-yard, par-3 16th at Muirfield Village. His pin that day, during the third round of the 2022 Memorial, was cut 12 feet in on the green’s left side (and 39 feet in from the front), and a few yards left of the hole was a lake. In question, essentially, was whether Horschel, who’s right-handed, should flirt with the water to try to get his ball in close. Or play away from the drink.

With the Presidents Cup approaching, we’re reminded of the link between the game we love and the highest office in our land. William Taft was the OG of golfers in the Oval Office.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

I’m a former nurse and recovering alcoholic, and I’ve been concerned by the lack of health education given to the general public about the dangers of mixing alcohol with certain medications. The common practice is to place warnings on medications that they should not be combined with alcohol. Although some doctors will provide warnings and some education, they often don’t because education takes up a lot of time in a busy healthcare environment. Plus, many doctors underestimate the ability of patients to retain education. Lastly, discussing this may prompt people to stop taking their vital medications so it becomes a risk/benefit issue.
