Definition

The traditional warning shout used in golf to alert other players that a ball is heading in their direction, potentially causing injury if they don't take evasive action. 'Fore!' should be shouted immediately and loudly whenever there's any possibility of a ball hitting another person. Understanding proper 'Fore!' etiquette is crucial for golf safety and demonstrates respect for other golfers on the course. This warning system has been used in golf for centuries and remains essential for preventing injuries. Prompt and loud 'Fore!' calls are fundamental responsibilities of all golfers.
