[Richard J. Lorentz]

I agree with Don, though maybe not for all the same reasons. I also like 
his match idea, but I think it will be hard to get a pro to agree to it.

After reading all these posts I have concerns about this whole "game 
within a game" idea. It's beginning to look like the pro's behavior 
becomes part of the experiment, which you probably don't want as it 
would be demeaning to the pro. I suspect the original spirit was to make 
it as attractive as possible to the pro so that he will be likely to 
participate. This might be best done by offering the most money you can 
with what you think is the fairest handicap.

Just my 2 cents.
