Description: Tee Time's Shaili Chopra chats up the 17th Maharaja of Vadodra, Samarjit Singh Gaekwad. Gaekwad, a cricketer who once represented Baroda, turned a farm into a golf course 10 years ago. The sprawling 10-hole golf course is set against the splendid Laxmi Niwas Palace dating back to 1889. It is the the second golf course in Gaekwad's kitty and he plans to move it up to a 18-hole course and convert the Palace into a hotel in the next three years, which could spell a treat for golf enthusiasts. In between some golf, Chopra quizzes Gaekwad, who is also a cricket administrator, on his views on T20, Shah Rukh Khan and the controversies surrounding cricket in recent years, and the family's philanthropic activities that have given a boost to education.
