The Two Golfers
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
Tom and Ben were professional golfers and keen rivals. One day during a game, they had each scored 30 when Ben hit a bad shot. Tom immediately added 10 to his own score. Tom then hit a good shot and he had won the game. Why?
Answer
They were playing tennis, not golf! At 30-30 Ben hit a shot out. Tom then served an ace to win the game and match.

| I thought it was hockey or soccer because you spelled "golfers" as "golers" in the riddle! I thought you meant goalers |
