It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the Golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.

Is it possible to hit a golf ball from the Moon's surface and reach escape velocity?

A golf ball is designed to achieve speeds up to 100 mph. While it's certainly possible with super human strength to hit it harder, you'd need to achieve 2.38 km/s or 5,324 mph (8,568 kph) for it to escape the Moons gravity. Whilst possible in sci-fi magazines, a golf ball would just explode as soon as it was hit at those velocities.
