A couple of things: 1. Your right hand is facing straight up at address, which promotes swinging at the ball like a baseball swing. If you want to look into it more, it’s called having too strong of a grip. 2. The low point of your swing is happening after the ball. With a driver, the low point needs to happen before the ball so your club is on an upward trajectory at contact. 3. Watch this: ▶ this video

Yes lots. You’re swinging with your arms rather than rotating properly. ▶ this video.

▶ this video At the 3:10 mark is showing exactly what OP is doing and the correct way to do it. Also the title is misleading, as you’ll see it doesn’t literally mean don’t turn your shoulders but not in the way that it’s often done, is what I’m guessing the author meant. But that’s beside the point.
