GOLF BALL LAUNCHER ???

I bought a golf ball launcher and a H&R Handi-rifle chambered in 223. Was going to use it at charity golf matches for a fund raiser by "selling" a ball for $XXX, and let the buyer see if they can get closest to a flag set up down range using my supplied blank ammo. The problem is that it LAUNCHES the heck out of them! Probably 400-500 yards! At a 45 degree angle the ball just disappears, and lands WAY too far away for my intended use.

My Question---is there a way to safely vent off some of the gases to keep at least a bit of control over max distance?

BTW- I already have several businesses lined up for prizes, and a machine shop willing to make the modifications.

Thanks for any ideas.
