It might be helpful to know that this game does not employ a 3 click meter like some other golf games. To hit the ball, make sure you move the arrow coercer over the power meter until it changes into a SWING icon. You will not be able to hit the ball until this happens. Now, simply click the mouse and hold it as you raise (^) the SWING icon to apply power to the meter. You will notice the yellow shaded meter moves left (<) until you stop raising the SWING Icon. When you have reached the desired power (don't take too long) release the mouse button and the power line, which now turns green, will rapidly move right (>) toward the blue shaded area. It is important to click the mouse a second time when the power line is as close as possible to the BOLD white line in the middle of that blue shaded area. There may be times when you'll want to click before or after the bold white line, but that will come with experience and practice.
