The Inside View

Remember I had mentioned that I have been selected as one of the top 8 golfer, for the tournament calendar year of July 06 to June 07, to play the round robin tournament. It happens like that each tournament carries points and you earn these point based on your performance in the tournament. I played only four tournaments for the calendar but did well enough in all four to earn enough points to finish 3rd on the points systems. Then Top 8 golfers play round robin against each other in matchplay format. So every one of them play 7 matches. I won 6 and lost 1, so had 6 points and I'm the winner. It was very tight till the last match which happened today. There are 3 golfers tied at 5 points for the second place. They will play sudden death playoff to decide the runner up. I will get my trophy in the year end ceremony on 2th June. This time it will be a winners trophy and much bigger than the last one. I will post the photograph after the ceremony.

This guy said it is not possible to find out the account number!! I did not know how to react to this. I told him I don't believe it that I'm standing in the branch where my account is, I have the debit...
