Yeah it will but never inflate your tyres to that. That pressure (normally around 50 p.s.i is the safe working limit of your tyres.
Golf should be around 32-38 p.s.i. depending on wheel size (16, 17 or 18), tyre softness (sidewall etc) and driver preference. You can over-inflate your tyres by one or two p.s.i to no detrimental effect, apart from lighter steering and better mpg (motorway I presume).

23 at the back is pretty low. I've never been told what pressure to put them at, I go by what feels right and a pressure that doesn't cause uneven wear over the tyre. I had 18's on at 34 front and back and they felt about right. I'd imagine somewhere about there should be fine

Does not say on the tyres no....
Driving < dropping off to school and mostly motorway. so most economical pressure would be good.
As I said < 225 45 17s

I normally run around 30/34 never had any issues with 1 or 2 PSI difference! Have a play!
