In August 2026, the YouTube golf community witnessed heightened drama. Good Good Golf, a well-known apparel brand and YouTube channel with over 2 million followers, faced substantial criticism. The backlash stemmed from an advertisement they released promoting a collaboration on a driver with Callaway. In the ad, Good Good co-founder, Garrett Clark, is seen pushing a female team member to the ground.
Despite Good Good Golf dealing with intense scrutiny and facing significant challenges, another YouTube golf personality, Grant Horvat, has also drawn attention. He announced the launch of a new golf club set for children. Grant Horvat, formerly associated with Good Good, has created a strong presence on YouTube with 1.8 million subscribers. Known for his clean image, many in the YouTube golf community consider him a leading figure.
Horvat’s decision to explore the children’s golf equipment market and his intention to promote the sport are commendable. However, opinions diverge on his approach. Some find his methods questionable.
“Callaway recognizes their involvement in the controversial Good Good ad,” a late-night statement revealed.
On a recent Wednesday, Horvat introduced his Lil’ Legends Starter Set in collaboration with Performance Golf. The set caters to kids aged 3 to 6 and includes a toddler-sized driver, an iron, and a putter. It features a training grip and comes with a mat that can be rolled up for easy transportation. The set also includes foam golf balls, tees, and access to a video with five golf games.
While the package appears comprehensive, its $199 price tag is contentious. Photographs suggest that the clubs are likely made of plastic, though the set’s landing page does not confirm the materials. Unlike many competitors, the clubs don’t seem to be metal.
Although Horvat’s efforts to introduce golf to young children are positive, selling a $200 set as a wealthy influencer raises questions about his purported aim to ‘give back to the game.’
One common question in the product’s FAQ section is why the price is $199 when other plastic sets cost $25. The response claims that plastic sets are more like toys that break, offering little educational value.
The site distinguishes the Lil’ Legends clubs from toy clubs by emphasizing that they are real equipment designed for toddlers, able to withstand actual swings and incorporating a teaching system. Plastic toys cannot match this durability, the site claims.
Upon inquiry about the material of the clubs, Performance Golf clarified that they are “real golf equipment,” not mere plastic toys or downsized adult clubs. The clubs are designed for genuine swing durability and made from materials safe for toddlers.
While the clubs may boast strength, purchasing them may hit your wallet hard given the competition’s lower pricing in the children’s golf equipment market.
