Meet The Host
KAREN HARDING
Tee for Two is the first Australasian golf podcast produced and hosted by a woman with women in mind.
Tee for Two is produced and hosted by Karen Harding, a freelance writer and editor specialising in women’s, inclusive, sustainable and grassroots golf.
Karen currently contributes to the monthly golf magazine Golf Australia, to Golf Global magazine (produced by ISPS HANDA), to the Golf Management Australia (GMA) Journal and to The Long Game (the newsletter of the Golf Society of Australia).
In 2019 Karen was the first female secretary/treasurer of the Australian Golf Media Association.
She is a three-time winner of the Best Reportage of Women’s Golf category in the Australian Golf Media Association annual awards, in 2018 for a three-part feature on Vision 2025, in 2021 for her story The Chrysalis Moment on the emergence of women and girls in golf, and in 2022 for her feature story Minjee in the Mirror.
In 2022 she was awarded the Tom Ramsey Memorial Award for Excellence for her work that year.
Over the years Karen has written for a number of golf publications. She prepared a number of feature supplements on golf for The Age newspaper and was the author of the historical section of Women’s Golf Victoria’s Centenary Address Book, celebrating 100 years of women’s governance of their sport in Victoria. She also edited and produced The Tin Shedders, the history of the Kingswood Golf Club.
In this role, she was the only female editor of a magazine covering both men’s and women’s golf and was able to foster a 50:50 balance of content between men and women, the first golf magazine to do so.
Karen compiled player profiles and feature articles for the official program produced for the ISPS HANDA Women’s Australian Open for several years. She has also written for Beyond the Fairways, the online magazine of Drummond Golf, as well as for Golf Victoria magazine before taking on the role as co-editor.
She was also able to promote her key passion areas of inclusion, diversity, sustainable and grassroots golf.
With Tee for Two, she brings all her experience and her passion for women’s golf to the podcast and aims to tell the stories of women across all areas of golf – and the men who support them.
