From watching men play golf while flipping channels during a holiday, to living her childhood dream of teeing off on the greens, Gauri Karhade has come a long way.

Gauri, 19, who secured the 2023-Tour Card to play in the WPGA Tour Australasia, through the LET (Ladies European Tour) Asian Qualifier, is currently on an 80-day trip Down Under to participate in 12 tournaments during the first phase of the WPGA, which ends on April 2; the venues being Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane among others.
