The Hot Hand and the Cold Hand in Professional Golf

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

Golf is a purely individual sport, where many measures of performance are available. I examine whether golfers do in fact experience the "hot hand" and the "cold hand": whether they tend to perform better (or worse) in the future, given that they have performed well (or poorly) in the recent past.
