Inspiration came from the Fore Play podcast at Barstool Sports, where 4 joe average golfers compete in Ambrose format against a single PGA tour pro to see if they can best them.
The spin to make it work here is: - the World #1 in TGCT will play their round 1 on the Platinum tour as they normally would, they may not even know this side event is even going on and they shoot their score
- the 4 CC-I tour players will play the first round on the Platinum tour, post their scorecard screenshots here, and the best score on each hole across the four players will count
So can 4 combined CC-I players best the world #1?
I have no idea but am keen to find out.
I'll play as one of the 4 CC-I players, just need 3 other CC-I players to agree to do the same. Platform doesn't matter.
To make it fair we will want the team in advance of their playing so there can be no funny stuff allegations.
Keen to try it for week 16, which on CC tour happens to be the Barstool Open!
Anny CC-I players prepared to commit, let me know here.

Great, post your round 1 scorecard here and I'll work out the best ball score for the CC-I foursome.
Will see if I can entice two other players to join us this week, but if not it will start to give us a feel for the size of the task and we can build into next week.

Hey! Unless there's any strange shenanigans, I'm looking at a promotion just in time for this! I'd be down to join since I already play Platinum rounds anyway!

Art Vandelay added you as a ghost to my Platinum round 1 tour, in case we need a fourth, we combined for a 4 Under. Arguably we both left a shot or two out there, so I think on a good day 4 of us could compete with the world #1.
Of course when I went to check on how he was shooting I realise it is Champions Tour this week so we actually need to play Rd1 of the Special Events Society at Carbondale Mining, if you are down to give that a whirl, FYI Tombanator gatorman play either or both of the Platinum Tour and/or the Special Event, we can see how we stack up in both events, just post scorecards here and we can calculate best ball scores.

Here's my round! Pretty mundane, but pretty sure I helped a bit at least!

Brutal but those birdies on 9 and 14 were huge as Art and I had both bogied so 4 shot swing, so after three players we are at -8, which would have us 21st= for Rd1 on the current Platinum leaderboard.
So somewhat competitive!

Absolutely, those birds on 13 and 16 improved the score by 2, so a foursome we shot -10, good enough for 5th= on the RD1 leaderboard.
I'd call that a success, I think on a good day we can compete with world #1.

Nice! I wonder when can we start to demand our Platinum card for being that competitive?
