Notes:

^aResults from alternate specifications using average partners’ score instead of average partners’ ability as the primary independent variable of interest.

^bThe dependent variable is the golf score for the round.

^cThe Ability variable is measured using the player’s handicap.

^dStandard errors are in parentheses and are clustered by playing group.

^eAll regressions weight each observation by the inverse of the sample variance of estimated ability of each player.
