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.

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

HAHA I was thinking the same thing.

While "FORE RIGHT" (or various other additional information) might be helpful, the first priority has got to be making sure the "FORE" is clearly audible and shouted as soon as you recognize that it's necessary. Don't wait while you figure out what else to say, and don't shout "fore RIGHT"...

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.

You are basing your judgement on the fact everyone is a member?

So people that pay-and-play shouldn't be protected from flying balls?

It's a second, slightly panicked, more urgent and much louder "FORE!!" that really sends everyone ducking for cover. Better to have everyone on the course take shelter just in case.

I yell a good, loud, clear "FORE"

Then, if I'm reasonably certain of where it's heading on the fly, I might yell again but instead of saying left or right I'll yell the hole number, so I'll follow a "FORE" by "FORE 17" - By the way, I drove the 17th green yesterday afternoon...from the 11th tee. Made par, though.

Couldn't agree more. The first FORE means I hit it way off line. The second, louder FORE means I actually see it coming for you!

No. If you hear "fore (anything)" and aren't sure if it's coming for you or not, duck and cover.

If you hear "fore right" and know that's someone hitting away from you (or you're on their left), then you're fine, regardless of the course and how familiar you may be with it.

My issue was that I only heard "Right". From 150 yards away, it's much easier to hear "FORE" than "fore RIGHT" or even "FORE RIGHT" . .and the Right part doesn't matter, anyway, except to people playing in imaginary golf tournaments. "FORE ON THE TEE" would've been fine.

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
