What "Fore" in golf means
Comes from artillery
Dear Matthew Alice: My boyfriend and I have a question. Why do golfers yell "four” before they hit a ball when somebody’s in their way? What does four have to do with anything? — Wendy and Russ, Carlsbad
Four? Four’s got nothing to do with anything, except maybe an occasional par. The term is “’fore,” as in “before,” as in “in front of." Old-time British artillery men were the first to yell “Before!" in an effort to keep fellow soldiers in the ranks in front of them from having their heads blown off when they fired their guns. Apparently the term oozed over onto the golf course, not usually the site of mayhem and bloodshed. But the game is originally British, and we can figure some of those soldiers who ducked fast enough might have lived to play a little golf and loan the phrase to golf.
