I think it is a warning that a golf ball might eventually hit your
vehicle, and if you’re prepared you won’t be startled

There is also the crossing airplane hazard, even 2 variants, airplanes

and from the left:

They do not imply that you have to fear airplanes on the street, they
are meant to prepare you for low flying aircraft.

A picture list of all German "standard hazards" can be found here:

but with this  sign

in combination with a text sign, any hazard can be signposted.

These are only the official road signs, on footways and private
properties, information signs etc., you might find all kind of other
hazard warnings. Is the tag only thought for roads and official road
signs, or is its scope extended to other official signs (e.g. in some
forests, there are "Rabies prone area" official signs, military areas
might warn with "restricted area, armed guards", and a property owner
might allude their dog is snappish.
