So - I'm getting ready to tee off and I hear, from off in the distance somebody yell "right!". It actually sounded like somebody yelling "Bite!" . .which I hate. Anyway, a few seconds later, his ball goes wizzing past my head. When I passed him in the fairway, I let him know that he should yell "Fore!" if he hits one at somebody. He gets all pissy and says "I yelled fore right, everybody on the planet heard me" and then drives off without even saying sorry.

Well, mr dumbass, I guess you watch a lot of golf tournaments but you should know that Fore Right doesn't mean a darn thing if nobody is watching you take your shot. The thing to yell is FORE - loud and clear.

That is all.

Fore shouts that are either too quiet, or incomplete bug the hell out of me.

I ALWAYS point the club toward the way the ball is heading

Yea, I would have said, "which right , numb nuts?" Fore is what needs to be heard - everyone who hears it will brace for possible impact.

I hate to point out the ironic humor here, but your name is O.B. Right....just thought that was funny.

FORE should be heard loud and clear.

That's why I'm so good at yelling "FORE!" :)

I always yell "FIVE," since it's one better than "FORE."

After Phil hit his most recent spectator at Whistling Straits, a commentator suggested we should replace "fore" by yelling "Phil!"

What good does that do? If I hear fore, I am not looking to see where it came from.

Same here, which is also why "right" or "left" doesn't usually work either.

I usually yell the following:

"I JUST HIT A WAYWARD SHOT, AND BASED ON THE ESTIMATED TRAJECTORY AND SPEED, AND ASSUMING A WIND VELOCITY THAT APPROXIMATES THE AVERAGE BETWEEN THE GROUND AND THE APEX OF FLIGHT, THE BALL MAY IMPACT SOMEWHERE IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF YOU AND OR MEMBERS OF YOUR GROUP, GRANTED THAT THERE ARE VARIOUS ATMOSPHERIC ANOMALIES WHICH MAY AFFECT THIS STATISTICAL PROBABILITY. THEREFORE, IN THE INTEREST OF PREVENTATIVE SAFETY, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU SEEK COVER IMMEDIATELY!!"


For some reason, I get a lot of negative feedback on this perfectly worded warning. Sheesh, you just can't please some people.

Type of ball would be good info too... harder ball = a more defensive cower, etc.....

On the 8th hole recently, I hit into a green side bunker. The greens crew was sitting on their machines on a direct line from me/hole/them. They saw me, know me well enough to know I'm inconsistent (to say the least) out of traps, but they stayed right there watching me. Naturally, I skulled my shot hitting it at about mach 15 right at them. Some how "FORE" wouldn't come out of my face. I yelled "HHHHEEEAADDDDSSSS!!" even though at best the ball would have hit them in the chest.

Most of the time I yell OOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!! For reasons unknown to me that initial 'F' is difficult to add in! My version certainly gets the point across though.

I don't see the problem with this. If you're familiar with the course you likely know where he's hitting from based on where you hear his voice. Members at Lake View here in Erie will often yell things like this and virtually everyone knows what they mean and appreciate the heads up. Others will offer variations like "Fore on Two!" or something if there's time.

Realistically if I am within earshot of anyone screaming ANYTHING on a golf course, I'm ducking! The closer it sounds, the faster I hit the deck.
