   Isn’t this sort of like the shepherd counting the sheep on a nearby hill by counting their legs and dividing by 4? ;-)

   Why do they always yell “fore” ?? Wouldn’t “duck” be more appropriate??

   The only way I could be a math whiz if they insert a knowledge chip into my brain. But then we all know
   that’s just mad science. Not to mention it would
   also violate the laws of nature.

   There are a couple of suggested origins for the use of “Fore” in golf. One is that the term is a shortening of “forecaddie” (used to warn the caddie, who went ahead of the golfers in his party in order to see where their shots went). The other is that the military use of “beware before” (shouted to infantrymen by trailing artillery crews who were about to fire) was transferred to the golf course.

    Basically, it’s warning other golfers that a ball’s coming your way, so watch out

    Roger is embarressed by Jason not yelling “fore”? This from a man wearing brightly colored plaid pants and a hat with a golf ball on the bill?

    “Why do they always yell “fore” ?? Wouldn’t “duck” be more appropriate??”

    That’s a silly question … If we didn’t yell ‘fore’ how would we warn the ducks of impending danger?

    It’s short for, “For crying out loud, watch out. I’m hitting a ball your way.” To save time, they shortened it, and mispeled it.
