Some believe that the term originated from 'forecaddies'. Morons who were paid to walk ahead of the person teeing off and help spot the ball. After an errant shot the golfer would yell 'Fore' to warn the caddie to pay attention. Some believe it originated from 'Beware Before'. Something WWI artillery soldiers would yell before firing a volley. Personally I believe the term comes from drunk Scottish hillbillies, who couldn't spell or think straight. After several accidents that resulted in lumpy heads, they got real drunk and decided on 'Fore' because 'Thry' didn't sound good and they were convinced 'Fyve' was already taken.
