Garrett Clark’s Hometown

Garrett Clark was a die-hard Bryan Bros. fan while growing up in Kansas City. He began posting videos on his own YouTube channel when he was nine. He was a talented scrambler who excelled as a junior golfer. Clark once won a tournament by shooting a final-round 68 while hitting just two fairways, according to Golf.com.

Clark practiced his trick shots for the entire month of December 2016 and started posting them to Instagram. He didn't play as many junior competitions as he had previously, instead focusing on making enjoyable videos over the summer. His Instagram following started to grow. Garrett joined the golf team at Kansas Community College but felt limited. He was spending too much time on unimportant tasks like team practice and academics, which hampered his ability to create content.

After his first year, Clark returned to YouTube in the summer of 2019 and concentrated on creating longer-form content. In one half-hour story, he went to a thrift store, paid $3.81 for a golf bag and set of irons, and then went out and played nine holes in four over par. The videos' production quality is modest but tidy, and the star is Garrett himself with a lovely swing and slightly funny personality.

Garrett had gathered 150,000 subscribers to his GM Golf YouTube account by the end of the summer. The YouTube algorithm, which inserts advertising into every video and compensates creators based on how many people watch the ads and for how long, was working its magic and bringing in money.

Clark told his father, Jerry, a financial advisor, that he wanted to drop out of college and focus full-time on content creation halfway through the summer. Jerry didn't agree at once but gave him the option of proving it was a viable career by earning $60,000. He did, and Jerry said (via Golf.com):

"Son, you need to drop out of school immediately because you've got lighting in a bottle right now. College can wait."
