I'm assuming that you're refering to the area where the face of the club and the shaft meet. If this is the case, there could be any number of causes. You could be over extending your backswing, causing your stroke to come off balance, and therefore offsetting the line of your stroke (think a pendulum that is pushed/pulled in one direction... it over swings in the other direction to compensate). Alternately, the cause could be that during your backswing, you don't rotate the club, which causes the face to close during you swing. One of the easiest fixes for any Golf problem is to be sure you remind yourself to point the toe of the club up as you swing. It should be about perpendicular (90*) to the ground by the time it's hip level. There are a number of reasons you may be hitting with the heel. But the most common I would think would be clubs that are not fitted. Are you shorter then 5'8"? It may be that the off the rack clubs most players have are not adjusted to your body type. An adjustment of your clubs lie angle more flat would help a great deal.

What is the cause of hitting your driver off the heel of the club?

One of the causes of this is an inaccuracy in your swing. What you could be doing here is bringing the club slightly to the outside as you swing back and therefore the corresponding motion in your downswing is causing the club back down along that outside path therefore hitting the ball with the heel of the club. What you could do here is either slow your swing down and try and regroove it properly, or at address have the ball set up inline with the toe, this will cause you to hit the middle of the club even if you bring your swing to the outside. This is a simple fix which even some PGA Tour pros use.

Should i adjust my lie angle on my club?

Basically depending on how low or high your hands are at address, this may cause either the toe or the heel of the club to be up in the air. If the toe is in the air you should have them flattened, and if the heel is in the air you should have them bent upright, you would probably need to get custom fit to see by how much, typically .25-3 degrees is normal.

What is the difference between draw and neutral?

With a standard swing a neutral bias club would hit the ball straight. For a draw bias club, the ball would start out right and come back into the middle. This is because a draw bias club has a heavy weight on the heel of the club, this means the toe comes through quicker followed by the heel, thus promoting the draw.
