Garrett Clark, the co-founder of the American sports and lifestyle YouTube channel Good Good Golf, is facing backlash for the brand’s latest ad titled “The Driver.”It shows professional golfer, internet personality, and Good Good employee Alexis Miestowski being shoved to the ground by Clark, who came rushing as soon as he saw her reach for a Callaway Quantum driver inside a golf bag. As she falls and groans, Garrett stands over her and says:“Do not touch my new driver.”Garrett Clark is not married but has a girlfriend named Marissa Wenzler, who is also a golfer and a Good Good Girls member.While the ad originally posted on August 21 on Good Good Golf’s social media pages was soon taken down, it quickly circulated online and earned negative reactions.“@goodgood_golf Condoning violence against women. Great partnership @CallawayGolf,” an X user sarcastically wrote.“Wow. That’s f**ked. Garret Clark is a f**kin loser and always has been. This sh*t is really gross,” another user added.“The founder of Good Good approved the video. He’s in it,” one netizen commented.“Pretty frustrating as a female golfer to hear ‘we love supporting women’s golf / we want to grow the game,’ yet every week there’s an example of the exact opposite. First, it’s big brands investing in over-s*xualised influencers, now pushing over a woman is deemed good content,” a sportswoman weighed in.In the wake of backlash, Good Good Golf released a statement:“We posted a video to our channels that ultimately depicted actions that are not aligned with our values as a brand. We have since taken that content down, and sincerely apologize. Good Good has always stood for making the game of golf more inclusive to all, and we will continue to ensure that is our mission going forward.”Garrett Clark has yet to personally address the backlash.More about Garrett Clark amid Good Good Golf controversyGarrett Clark was born in Kansas City in April 2000.
