How far would hitting a ball this hard mean the ball travelled on Earth.

Enough to achieve the moons 'escape velocity'. This is the velocity required to escape the gravitational pull of the body you wish to leave.
The escape velocity of the earth is 11.2 km per second and the moons is 2.4 km per second.
The greater the mass of the planet the greater the force of gravity and so the higher the escape velocity required.

I remember someone asking me a similar question to this about shooting a bullet into space from the moon. Considering the force behind a bullet being fired from a gun (and no matter how hard Alan would hit that golf ball I can safely say it would not compare to the power output from that gun) the bullet would never reach escape velocity so the same can be said for the golf ball.

1/8 of the total power that it takes to put a rocket into orbit on earth.

couldn't..1/6 earth gravity yes..
but same time he can only swing at that slower speed to drive that gold ball. it don't go flying a mile away.
cause the power is missing from the swing also.

Easy, as long as he could hit it at about 2,000mph.
