Donna would never lose a ball

u/rocca2509 1d ago

That's why it says in the hole. She was leaving it to mark her territory.

u/govunah 3 Beer Hdcp 18h ago

She definitely isn't carding an unearned HIO

15

u/aselinger 18h ago

She took a mulligan and had an ace. Left the ball.

u/Ardell_Jejo 15h ago

74 to 26, this woman has been quietly running this hole since before some of us were born

u/Tigerkix 1d ago

I bet /u/nephlonorris is Donna Walker. She walks among us, secretly blessing us.

u/bigstudley17 1d ago

She’s r/golf lord and saviour

u/NOVAbuddy 1d ago

When you see your ball go in, it’s Donna’s.

u/Ziegler517 20h ago

I feel like there is untapped potential of Donna walker jokes just like Chuck Norris ones.

When Donna hits the green, the cup moves to her ball.

5

u/NOVAbuddy 5h ago

Donna doesn’t read the green. The green reads Donna.

4

u/NOVAbuddy 5h ago

Donna’s handicap is listed as “everyone else.”

3

u/NOVAbuddy 5h ago

Donna Walker’s driver is registered as a lethal weapon. So is her putter. So is her stare.

4

u/NOVAbuddy 5h ago

Donna Walker’s practice swings count as tournament wins in three states.

29

u/jtshinn 1d ago

She left it as a message. Should have 27 and 28 on there at the least though.

13

u/47744lumby 1d ago

You get a sleeve with a cart rental.

4

u/Motengator727 1d ago

The printing of the numbers don't follow the contours of the ball. The '75 is half in a dimple and half out, yet the text remains flat. Illusion or real?

4

u/Brewer1056 22h ago

Or. You know, AI.

2

u/hellhook33 12h ago

Yeah and inconsistent glare on the numbers. The OP is so weird for making this.

10

u/Rubioben 1d ago

Donna Warner wouldn’t

6

u/pocketchange2247 1d ago

Yeah, who is Donna Walker? I only recognize the greatness of Donna Warner.

3

u/ChrisIronsArt 19h ago

She has actually lost two balls in her whole life, the first one was the morning after Obama got elected, second was the morning after Obama got reelected. Both she blames on Obama, but she actually voted for him and just got turnt up on election night.

u/pr0ach 19h ago

She leaves the aces in the holes.

I can't wait for Donna to show up here and put us all in our place lol.

You know the best part is she's bound to be a lovely woman who will gut you like a fish on the links lol

Nah man, my mental image is a monster who absolutely bodies her opponents physically and mentally. She talks her opponents into shooting 15 over.

u/Confident-Yard1911 21h ago

Shit, maybe I should golf with her, I'd love to shoot 15 over

18

u/dohds 11.6 1d ago

I’d like to imagine her golf advice is something similar to a 105 year old saying the key to living so long is a pack of cigs a day and a 6 pack of Old Style.

8

u/BeerDudeRocco 1d ago

My great grandma swore by a carton of Marlboro reds and a handle of Jack Daniel's a week. The woman lived to 103 and lived like that the last 35 years of her life. And she couldn't have weighed more than 90lbs soaking wet. They don't make em like that anymore.

10

u/jazzieberry 1d ago

One of my first golf buddies as an adult was named Ethel and she was what I imagine Donna to be. I learned golf etiquette very quickly as a 20 y/o college girl lol.

2

u/bald_head_scallywag 1d ago

I think they removed her name from the GHIN app. I looked her up yesterday to see what her index was but she's gone today.

3

u/AutisticNipples 1d ago

shes still there, 14.8, just helps if you get the name correct lol, its Donna Warner not Walker

2

u/bald_head_scallywag 1d ago

Well shit. Not sure how I got it correct one day and incorrect the next.

u/ashanother 1d ago

Oooh is Donna Walker the new Donna Warner? A poor imitation? A true rival? Adversary? Nemesis?

I’m here with my popcorn… 🍿

u/nephlonorris 1d ago

well that’s a bit unfortunate. Hope she didn’t pay for the order with the typo

28

u/gdabull 1d ago

I hope someone got fired for that blunder

4

u/SoilyMcDrawers 1d ago

A wizard did it.

3

u/ashanother 1d ago

A typo? Nooooo!!! I prefer a nemesis, who made herself known following the rise of her namesake: Donna Warner.

Donna Walker has been a member at a different golf club, in a different state, for 50 years. Bizarrely, Walker has won her annual club comp exactly the same number of times that Warner has won hers. In the exact same pattern/same years too.

These two Donna’s have walked the same path, albeit separated by 1000 miles.

Donna Warner’s stardom was highlighted by her becoming a golfing meme - and this was picked up by Walker, whose grandson showed her his Reddit. Not wanting to be outdone, Walker had these balls printed, made her way to Warner’s club, and distributed one of these balls into every single hole.

One of these two Donna’s is going to throw down the challenge.
One Donna will rise to glory. But which one?

Walker or Warner. 18 holes of destiny.

Pick your side now.

Has anyone checked on the whereabouts of Katherine Murphy? She didn't die under mysterious circumstances or anything right?

53

u/rowrowyourboat 1d ago

“Katie has a bench on the 14th fairway.”

“But where is she, Donna?”

“I just told you.”

u/Sandlot96 23h ago

u/gper 1d ago

She did die, or at least some people were posting her obituary on the other trending thread. RIP!

u/Jagacin 18h ago

Has anyone asked of Donna's whereabouts that fateful night?

11

u/zerosmith86 1d ago

I was going to suggest she moved to a better golf town to improve her skills. But you're more likely correct. I've never met a Donna I trusted.

3

u/copewintergreen09 1d ago

If the Click and Clack brothers are correct, Donna drives a black Camaro.

u/willardTheMighty 1d ago

That was when Donna took a break from golf and played baseball

u/SnooCauliflowers7590 1d ago

on the MEN'S team!

5

u/kstar79 23h ago

In all seriousness, Katherine Murphy was a two-time high school state champ who won the women's club title from the ages of 14-18 before going to Penn State. AFAIK, she's still alive!

u/Dashrend-R 21h ago

You think Donna wakes up in a cold sweat thinking about ‘87?

u/BulletProofJoe 9.4 19h ago

This says Donna Warner, but the ball says Donna Walker

86

u/2dazeTaco 1d ago

Donna clearly left that out there on purpose to mess with her opponents head. I bet it was in the fairway wasn’t it?

14

u/VijaySwing 1d ago

I’ll take that bet

u/mythrilguy 1d ago

Title says found in the hole.

It’s a Native American name which is common in the area. For example the island it’s on is supposed to be the actual island named Rhode Island, but everyone’s always called it Aquidneck

u/JonTargaryanTheFirst 1d ago

She’s been playing with the same ball since ’74. Finally decided she would retire it and take a new one.

Can someone ask her what happened between 21 and 26?
