Even in a best ball tournament where the score doesn't matter, people still get embarrassed when they whiff on a swing or whatever. And yes, I guarantee more people than you might think feel that way. Golfing requires skill -- you can't expect novices who aren't interested in it and have little-to-no experience at it to enjoy themselves, especially when they're worried about looking good in front of their colleagues.
Imagine it this way: if your company hosted a karaoke night and insisted that everyone get up to sing at least one song, don't you think some of your coworkers might be embarrassed or intimidated by that? Golf is no different.
