In this episode of Lead the Way with Landscapes Golf Management, James Molina, General Manager at Renditions Golf Course, breaks down how to use ChatGPT as a powerful everyday tool — not a replacement for human judgment.
Start Small and Practical
James encourages beginning with simple, real-world tasks. His first ChatGPT request was summarizing a 30-page contract — a small step that saved hours. The key: start where you are, with tasks you already do.
Iterate and Refine
AI isn’t perfect out of the gate. James reminds us to treat ChatGPT like a colleague — give it feedback and guide it toward your tone and goals. Ask it to “make this sound more casual,” or “summarize this.” Iteration is where the magic happens.
Use It to Save Time, Not Create More Work
James uses ChatGPT to turn bullet points for a golf tournament into polished emails and posters — transforming a 30-minute task into a two-minute one. The goal: free up time to focus on what truly matters.
Stay in the Driver’s Seat
AI should assist, not replace you. James emphasizes staying involved so the output reflects your voice, values, and culture. Think of it as a co-pilot — great for speed and efficiency, but you’re the one steering.
The Takeaway
Whether you’ve never opened ChatGPT or use it daily, the message is clear:
- Start small
- Refine often
- Save time
- Stay in control
