Years ago, when a player played Golf, he had a caddy and the caddy had an assistant, the fore caddy. The fore caddy used to stand down the fairway and watch where the ball went, when the player hit, they used to shout 'fore' to let the fore caddy know the ball was coming. It is now a term used to let other players know that a ball may come near them.
