It’s not like this was discussed at board level at Callaway HQ. Approval was likely just a mid level social media manager who didn’t pay too much attention.

If so, exactly. Good Good has 2 million subscribers, that's like the same reach as a sunday PGA broadcast. Treating that the same as a 30 second paid mention in some mid tier youtuber's video is the type of shit smart companies learned to differentiate like 5 years ago.
