We consider a simple model for the propagator of a non-perturbative gl
uon and derive the rules determining its coupling to perturbative gluo
ns and quarks. With these rules, we evaluate the fourth and sixth-orde
r amplitude for quark-quark scattering at high energies. In this frame
work, numerical predictions are presented for high energy nucleon-nucl
eon scattering and compared with experimental data.
