Why do golfers shout 4 if they miss hit a ball?

Golfers are not saying "4" as in the number, they are saying "FORE". the origin of this comes from the word "before" but its a shortend version. FORE is a warning to anyone who is standing in an area where they can get hit by the ball. it used to be used in the military, FORE was short for forward, meaning get to the ground before you get shot in the head. according to a few British military historians, "FORE" meant "MAKE READY"
