You are most likely trying to hit the ball too hard. The golf swing for most people should be a controlled, slower movement. Allowing the club to do "all the work". Slow down and move the club head through the ball where you can make contact. Develop a tempo/rhythm of the club going back on a nice even pace and then coming down and through the ball at just a little faster pace than the backswing. It doesn't have to be much faster. Just a slight acceleration. Don't worry about distance until you get more consistent. Once you get a feel for the club swinging you will have more success.

Ok i am real good at driving...it does not matter what size the club head is personally i like the smaller size because i get a little more distance then the bigger one... what you need to do is place your feet should width apart...have the ball on the tee in your hand with the tee between your pointer and middle and have the ball on top of the tee place it into the ground (if you areright handed) put the ball and tee about 25 % of your body from the left...put your hands on the club...right handed on the bottem left right above the right...have the club above the ground NOT TOUCHING the ground and right behind the ball....keep your eyes on the ball and pullback...but with your wrist straight until u come about your waist then u start bending your wrist with the motion and then just follow through with the hit u should hit it. and probably why it only goes 10 feet is becuase you are hitting the ground.

Missing The Ball In Golf

You have already gotten a lot of good answers, and they all say the same thing, so I'm just going to repeat what they have already said.
1. Concentrate on the ball on the tee. DO NOT try to watch it fly, your follow through will automatically lift your head so that you can see the ball.
2. Relax your grip on the club. Quit trying to strangle it, it's already dead. You just have to hold the club, not bring it into submission.
3. Let the club do the work. The biggest problem I have is trying to force more speed out of the club, and that just screws everything up. Start with a "half" swing, and just let the club run through it's natural motion.
Good luck

First i would start by keeping my head down and my eye on the back part of the ball. Club size could make a difference.

try giving your knees some bend and it should be easier to get the club head under the ball. Also make sure your head stays in the same spot after you've hit the ball.

as you get ready to hit the ball. you must look at the side of the in which you are going to hit. keep your eye on it as you are hitting it with you club. the longer you watch it. the better you will get. don't worry about where it go's for now. that's why the others are there with you. stay calm. good luck as you get better you'll be happier.

I occasionally still do the same thing. It is because I look up too soon. Its really important to keep your eye on the ball until you hit it.
