Crossword Genius

One warning in four is shouted (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fore

'one warning' is the definition.
(shouted in golf)

'four is shouted' is the wordplay.
'is shouted' shows a homophone (sound like) (how the word might sound if shouted).
'four' is a homophone of 'FORE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fore that I've seen before include "Warning cry on a golf course" , "At the bow" , "Placed in front" , "Not aft" , "Warning cry of golfer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
