Not saying you would ever do this, but last year I was playing with a man who brought his girlfriend (?) as a ride along. At one point, she got out of their cart, walked onto the fairway and tried arguing with me about the lie of my ball. Luckily this man saw the problem and shooed her back to the cart but it was an uncomfortable intrusion. People who don't play golf are often not aware of golf rules/etiquette, leading to big problems, thus the restrictions.
