Add The New York Post on Google The co-founder and face of Good Good Golf, Garrett Clark, broke his silence during the ongoing controversy surrounding the brand in a lengthy video on Wednesday in which he apologized, calling what the company put out a “terrible ad.”
He also highlighted some of the vitriol that Good Good’s female talent has received amid the controversy.
Clark is the latest person associated with the now-infamous advertisement promoting a driver collaboration between Good Good Golf and Callaway Golf, which saw Clark, early in the spot, shove fellow brand content creator Alexis Miestowski.
The ad drew widespread condemnation for what many perceived as making light of domestic violence. It led both Good Good and Callaway to scrub the video from their social channels.
The Good Good co-founder and popular golf content creator said multiple times in his more than eight-minute-long video that the brand does not support domestic violence. He apologized for “playing the role in this ad at the magnitude that I did.”
The advertisement was supposed to be a parody of a scene from the horror movie “Obsession,” Clark explained, and that anyone who touched the driver would become “possessed with the obsession of the driver.”
“Looking back, super dumb ad concept, terrible ad in general, not the greatest idea,” he said.
“Terrible concept, terrible ad. Once I watched it back and it got posted, my skin was crawling,” Clark later added. “I was cringing. I mean, just even minutes after I saw it get posted, before this surfaced everywhere online, I thought it was the worst ad known to man. The beginning of the ad was very intense with the way that it was pushed out there and not good, all around not good.”
Clark said he’s seen the hate and comments the ad has gotten, saying it was all “very justified.”
Good Good Golf co-founder Garrett Clark talked about the controversy surrounding the brand. X/@gm__golf The ad has created a massive stir among the golf community after it was briefly published and then deleted, with potentially massive repercussions for the Good Good brand. Good Good has a massive influence in the golf space, especially among younger audiences, boasting more than 2 million subscribers on YouTube. The brand raised $45 million in funding in March 2025.
Questions have now been raised about whether the PGA Tour will continue with Good Good as the title sponsor of a newly created event in November. Retailers, including Golf Galaxy and Dick’s Sporting Goods, have removed Good Good products from their online stores.
However, Clark said in the video that the ad has also brought some disturbing vitriol toward Good Good’s female talent, specifically Miestowski.
Good Good Golf found itself in hot water over a controversial ad. X/@gm__golf “’Hope someone beats you after your round,’” Clark recalled one person’s comment on Miestowski’s post before showing another vulgar message the Good Good Girls content creator received.
“To me, feels a little backwards for people that are advocating for no violence and abuse of any sort. That one doesn’t feel right to me,” Clark said.
Clark’s final message in the video was that “Good Good messed up by supporting a very poor-taste ad that was not good in any way, shape or fashion but hopefully you guys can forgive Good Good as well as myself for being a part of it, and hopefully we can move on and grow the women’s side of golf, because that is one of our huge, huge goals.”
