First of all, you can't be totally fair with pro/am doubles. Let's face it -- on the pro side, there is a select group of people that usually cash, another group that occasionally cashes, and some that rarely/never cash. The lower third of the Pros and upper third of the Ams is often interchangeable and when a top pro pulls a top am, mark them down for the win. Perhaps ratings should be used. Anyone at 850 (or whatever) and below plays whites from all tees -- then there is no arguing, the numbers decide it.
