Good Good Golf Co-Founder in Ad Apologizes, Says He Hopes People ‘Move On’

Good Good Golf co-founder Garrett Clark issued a lengthy video on his personal social media accounts late Wednesday to address the controversy surrounding the company's recent ad featuring Callaway driver. The promotional video, which was quickly deleted, depicted Clark running and pushing fellow Good Good talent Alexis Miestowski to the ground while claiming ownership of the new driver.

Images of threatening gestures were shared online, sparking outrage and accusations of endorsing violence against women. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp condemned the ad and the company's slow response. Garrett Clark apologized for his role in the skit, stating that the ad's reception did not align with Good Good's values. He added that the company does not support domestic violence, abuse, or any form of such behavior.

In the wake of the backlash, Dick's Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, PGA Tour Superstore, and Target removed Good Good merchandise from their shelves. Calls for the PGA Tour to drop Good Good as the title sponsor of its upcoming Fall Series event were growing. Clark explained how the ad was produced, clarifying that the tackle was staged and that he never struck Miestowski.

He also reiterated comments made by Good Good CEO Matt Kendrick, who called the ad "a super dumb ad concept" and the "worst ad known to man." The company's CEO further called attention to the online abuse Miestowski and her fellow "Good Good Girls" have faced. Clark showed screenshots of threatening comments and messages targeted at Miestowski.

Good Good has not issued any formal statements since Saturday. The brand's initial tweet apologized for the content, taking it down, and vowed to stand for inclusivity in golf moving forward.
