Why Carl works better than GolfNow for Boston
GolfNow shows only what courses choose to upload. At busy courses like George Wright and Granite Links, prime weekend slots often aren't on the platform — the pro shop holds them back. What you see online is a partial picture.
Carl calls pro shops directly. That's where the hidden inventory lives. About 30% of the time a course shows “sold out” online, a phone call finds something. Carl makes that call so you don't have to.
