Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark released a statement on their controversial Callaway ad
Good Good co-founder Garrett Clark released a lengthy statement on the controversial Callaway ad that saw him shove a woman to the ground. The ad has resulted in significant backlash against both companies.
Clark, the co-founder of the golf content and apparel brand Good Good Golf, posted a lengthy video statement addressing the now-deleted ad that showed him apparently shoving content creator Alexis Miestowski to the ground for touching his new Callaway Quantum Driver.
Good Good Golf co-founder Garrett Clark posted a nearly 9-minute-long apology for the controversial Callaway ad
In the video, Clark called the concept a “stupid idea” and showed behind-the-scenes footage to prove that no physical contact actually occurred during filming.
Clark also stated that Miestowski and the other Good Good Girls — the female-led division of the brand — have received online abuse, and even death threats, in the aftermath.

“I wanted to come on here real quick and talk about the current situation with Callaway and Good Good. I personally want to apologize for playing the role in this skit, in this ad, at the magnitude that I did,” Clark said.
“This is not at all what we stand for, the way this ad was received, is not how Good Good is, and it’s not what we stand for. I want everyone to know that I don’t support DV [domestic violence] or abuse or any of that to any, of any kind,” he continued.
“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.”
According to Clark, the concept of the ad was intended as a parody of a scene from the hit indie horror film Obsession. Not everyone was buying that explanation, though.
After watching Obsession, I’m pretty certain that no one at Good Good watched it.
1.) This movie has a very dark message. Trying to parody this for any ad is a mindblowing, terrible decision in the first place.
2.) In no way did the ad parallel anything related to the movie.… https://t.co/sO4Wno91fb

Callaway CEO Chip Brewer also issued an official apology on behalf of the company, in which he acknowledged that the company approved the ad before posting it. Brewer said Callaway will be conducting internal and external investigations into the process of how the ad got approved.
