Garrett Clark Bio
From a nine-year-old YouTuber to GM Golf founder and Good Good co-founder—the competitive-golf and business story behind one of creator golf’s defining figures.
Quick answer: Garrett Clark is an American golf creator, the founder of GM Golf and a co-founder of Good Good Golf. His path runs from junior competition and one college season to a full-time YouTube career that helped turn creator golf into a major entertainment and retail business.
Garrett Clark at a Glance
A YouTuber Before He Became a Golfer
Long before Clark became one of YouTube golf’s most recognizable faces, his stated childhood ambition was to become a YouTuber. He began filming as a preteen—early videos included piano playing and Lego projects—and did not become serious about golf until around age 14.
GOLF.com described Clark as an accomplished junior golfer who was particularly effective around the greens. He once won a junior event with a closing 68 despite hitting only two fairways. As content demanded more of his time, his reported tournament schedule fell from roughly 30 junior events a year to three in his final season.
An early creator-golf influence: Clark has cited the Bryan Bros as an inspiration and reportedly sought out George Bryan at a Kansas City Web.com Tour event to ask about building a social-media business.
Kansas City Kansas Community College and the $60,000 Test
Clark played for Kansas City Kansas Community College as a freshman during the 2018–19 season. He continued filming while his growing audience complicated NCAA eligibility under the rules that existed before college athletes could broadly monetize their name, image and likeness.
At the end of his freshman year, Clark’s father set a financial bar for leaving school: earn $60,000 from content over the summer. Clark reached the target and left college to pursue YouTube full-time. Read the full college story →
Building a Group Around the Channel
Clark returned heavily to long-form YouTube in the summer of 2019, creating a repeatable mix of matches, challenges, trick shots and thrift-store golf. One memorable video followed him shooting four over for nine holes with an entire $3.81 thrift-store bag.
The channel accelerated when Clark stopped treating it as a solo act. Stephen Castaneda, Matt Scharff and his cousin Micah Morris became recurring personalities, and that group-driven format supplied much of the creative foundation for Good Good. Explore the Clark–Morris connection →
Co-Founding a Creator-Golf Company
Good Good formed in 2020 after Clark connected with Matt Kendrick, who had previously built the Googan Squad model in fishing and saw an opportunity to apply a similar content-and-commerce structure to golf.
Clark, Matt Scharff, Stephen Castaneda, Max Putnam, Colin Ross and Kendrick are identified as founders in company materials, with Micah Morris part of the original on-camera group and naming discussion. Early ideas reportedly included Bogey Boys and Birdie Boys before Kendrick proposed “Good Good.”
Clark later helped introduce Matt Meneghetti to a larger creator-golf audience through collaborations that preceded Meneghetti becoming a Good Good member.
From YouTube Channel to a $45 Million Funding Round
Good Good expanded from YouTube into apparel, retail, live events and major partnerships. In March 2025, the company announced a $45 million funding round led by Creator Sports Capital, with participation from Manhattan West, Sunflower Bank and Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions. The $45 million figure was the amount raised—not a disclosed company valuation.
In August 2026, a since-deleted Callaway driver advertisement drew criticism. Clark published a personal apology on August 26. Callaway ended its Good Good partnership the following day, Good Good withdrew from the connected PGA Tour event and Golf Channel canceled the filmed Big Break season. On August 28, then-CEO Matt Kendrick said the company had removed members of the marketing team responsible for the advertisement. Kendrick stepped down on September 2, president Joe Flannery departed and co-founder Nahid Giga became interim CEO.
Clark’s role: He is a co-founder and Good Good’s leading on-camera creator, but he is not the company’s sole owner or CEO. See who owns and runs Good Good Golf →
What Clubs Has Garrett Clark Been Documented Using?
Mizuno announced Clark’s signing in March 2022 and documented a Mizuno setup. GolfWRX later documented a Callaway bag at the August 2025 Creator Classic and published its itemized specifications on September 2, 2025.
Good Good’s Callaway partnership ended August 27, 2026. No post-partnership, club-by-club WITB has been verified, so the 2025 Callaway setup remains dated historical evidence rather than a current-bag claim.
