I would guess that at least some golfers in the northern sections are golfing less or not at all once they reach a certain age which might explain more slots becoming available there.

South of 44 it's the opposite issue. The average age is certainly under 60 and many of the golfers are golfing the Executives almost every day which makes getting tee off times on courses like Lowlands very challenging.
