The correct statement that describes the changes in a golf ball when it is hit with a club is:

**A**: Its kinetic energy and its speed increase.

When a golf ball is struck by a club, the club imparts energy to the ball, causing both its speed and kinetic energy to increase as it starts moving through the air.
