'Fore'

Don't forget to yell 'Fore'.

Fore is a warning call that alerts golfers that they may be in the way of an errand shot. Golf is a game steeped in tradition and one of those traditions is to yell 'fore' when you hit a bad shot towards anyone else on the course.

Yelling 'fore' is good etiquette and a conduct expected of all players. Rule 1.2a linked.
