As Good Good continues to face the consequences of the ad, Garrett Clark hopes the video can show the public that the group is sympathetic.

'Worst ad known to man': Good Good Golf co-founder releases rambling, 9-minute apology for offensive commercial

Controversial ad firm Good Good Golf faced backlash after releasing a nine-minute video apology from co-founder Garrett Clark. The apology came after the firm's commercial was criticized for promoting violence and abuse, featuring Clark tackling actress Alexis Miestowski. The video has since been withdrawn, and both Callaway Golf and Good Good Golf have issued apologies.

Clark expressed regret for his role in the ad and defended Miestowski, emphasizing that the company does not support domestic violence or abuse. The controversial ad was meant to mimic the movie "Obsession" by showcasing Clark's obsession with his golf driver. Despite being just 26 years old, Clark has been instrumental in growing Good Good Golf since its founding in 2020.
