Warning labels do not mean much - they're mostly there to protect the manufacturer in case some freak accident should occur. Obviously a windshield provides some protection, even if it doesn't mean you're bulletproof.
The only situation such a warning would be remotely relevant was if someone was launching golf balls straight at the windshield.
I've never heard of anyone seriously injured by plastic shards (or the ball) from a golf ball hitting a windshield.
If given the choice of taking a golfball in the eye or having it hit a windshield first, would anyone really prefer an unhindered eye-shot?
