hi
try swinging slower and not trying to hit the ball so hard, its a swing not a hit. if you slow down your swing a little and concentrate on putting the middle of the club face on the ball then the club will do the work and you will start to play longer.
cheers

Good advice from the previous post.

Also use a short swing for now, don't try to swing the club back too far, just below your back shoulder will do, you will be able to control it better like that.

Finally work on the clubface hitting with a downward blow that strikes the ball then the ground in front of the ball with all your clubs except the driver. Never try to lift the ball upwards.

What does your coach and fellow players say? Try lessons from a pro.
