A few lines about me: "I am a very passionate person in general and it shows in whatever I do in my life. I started playing Golf in 1997 and became a single digit in 1998. The love for the game drove me to develop, the well known Kalhaar Blues & Greens Golf Club in Ahmedabad. I currently play to a handicap index of 2.6. As being a promoter of this successful real estate company, I take immense pride in the kind of work we have done so far and will be doing in near future."
What inspired me to take Golf: "I was a cricketer in my childhood and teenage days, having played for the state teams for a number of years. The sportsman in me has always remained alive, shifting to Golf about 20 years back and 3 years after I stopped playing cricket. When I went to see a friend play Golf on the army golf club, Ahmedabad, the first ball flight bought me in. I knew this game is for me. And it has changed my life."
Dream Golf moment: "The most exciting moment in Golf has been having my first and the only hole in one, so far, on the day of the opening of my Golf course, on 22 September, 2012. I really felt Golfing Gods smiled at me and it was the best ever gift anyone would receive from the almighty...I truly believe it is a very rare feat, I don't think any Golf course owner has ever had a hole in one, on the day of the opening of his Golf course...."
One thing I would like to change about Golf (in India): The perception of the game as being for the elite class only.
My fave Golf 'totka': "Wearing a white Tee Shirt or a White cap, brings luck to me...."
My fave dream 4-ball: "Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Donald Trump and me.."
Fave Golf course: "Augusta National GC"
