Summary "Fore!" by Charles E. Van Loan is a humorous novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the world of golf, showcasing the antics of various characters as they navigate the challenges and idiosyncrasies of the game. The central character, Wally Wallace, represents the younger, more eager generation of golfers who clash with the slower, more pompous members known as the Big Four, bringing comedic tension to the narrative. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the frustrations of playing behind a notoriously slow foursome, aptly named the Big Four, at a country club. Wally Wallace and his companion are eager to make their way through the course but are continually obstructed by the ponderous pace of the elderly players who seem oblivious to the rules of golf etiquette. As Wally attempts to assert his right to pass through, readers are drawn into the larger context of the club's culture and politics, setting the stage for a humorous exploration of golf, camaraderie, and the intricacies of human behavior on the greens.
