The debut episode of Talk of the Course spotlights the Grounds Management Association’s #GroundsWeek, running from 23-29 March - a celebration of the people and expertise behind some of the UK’s finest sporting surfaces.

We’re joined by special guest Andrew Morris, Director of Racing at Newmarket Racecourse, for an inside look at the exceptional work carried out by his team at both Newmarket and the Jockey Club. From day-to-day course management to forward-thinking innovations, Andrew shares how modern techniques are shaping the future of racecourse grounds.

The episode also includes the first edition of the RCA's #quick-fire-five, which helps listeners learn more about our guests and the personalities behind British racing.
