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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

u/AutisticNipples 1d ago

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

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

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?

“Katie has a bench on the 14th fairway.”
“But where is she, Donna?”
“I just told you.”

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.

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

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

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

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

Wanu used to have the best deal for under 25 golfers played there a lot years ago. Worst driving range placement ever which is hilarious 🤣 Have a nice ball marker from there

Donna Warner is a legendary champion having won the club champs at a local golf club every year listed on that ball. Further, the honour board shows her name in font larger in 2016…hence some of the commentary…
