Answer 3

Cuando los hombres están jugando el golf , que llaman en voz alta "atención"

¿pero por qué razón lo llamen en zoz alta ?

When men are playing golf , they call out loud " fore"

but for what reason do they call out ?

"Fore!", originally a Scots interjection, is used to warn anyone standing or moving in the flight of a golf ball. The mention of the term in an 1881 British Golf Museum indicates that the term was in use at least as early as that period.
