In this episode of The AceCall.ai Podcast, we sit down with Martin Piché, General Manager & COO of Scarboro Golf & Country Club—the only 18-hole A.W. Tillinghast course in Canada.

Martin shares his uncommon path from superintendent to GM/COO and the leadership mindset that journey forged: team-first, data-informed, and relentlessly member-focused.

We dig into Scarboro’s multi-year capital plan—including a full irrigation system replacement, tee and bunker upgrades aligned to Tillinghast intent, and a new sports lounge overlooking simulators and an indoor putting green—and how transparent communication kept members, boards, and staff aligned at every step.

What you’ll learn:

• ✅ How a superintendent’s eye for detail, budgeting, and planning translates into club-wide leadership
  

• ✅ The playbook for on-time/on-budget capital projects: clear scope, contractor communication, and real contingencies
  

• ✅ Practical ways to over-communicate milestones (drones, photos, timelines) to build member buy-in
  

• ✅ Why cross-training and “all-hands” culture beat silos—especially during renovations
  

• ✅ Where AI fits today at clubs: GPS-guided spraying, modern irrigation controls, ChatGPT for drafting and data analysis
  

• ✅ Near-term AI wins: staff scheduling, reception/chatbots, range-pick robots—and why AI should free staff to be more member-facing, not replace them
  

• ✅ Governance takeaways: use AI to surface better comparisons and trends, but make decisions anchored in club culture and mission
  

If you’re a GM, board member, or department leader aiming to modernize without losing your club’s soul, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom you can use this season.
