| 0:14.0 | Welcome to the Action Network podcast. This is our Best Betts episode for the 2025 Masters teeing off this week at Augusta National. |
| 0:21.9 | I'm your host, Mike Calabry, and joined today by a very special returning guest. |
| 0:26.3 | He's a golf betting expert, a two-time fantasy sport writers association golf writer of the year, |
| 0:31.9 | a senior PGA analyst at Rhodo Baller, and co-host of the new draft cast spinoff called King of the Draft. |
| 0:38.7 | You can find them online at T-Off Sports. Welcome back to the program, Spencer Aguard. |
| 0:44.3 | Michael, it's always an absolute pleasure to do this show with you. Anything that I do over at Action Network is some of my favorite content that I put out every week. So I look forward to running through this board with you today. |
| 0:55.0 | Well, we're set to head up Magnolia Lane with you. We're going to discuss the course, |

| 1:44.6 | You've seen the azalea flowers. You've heard about the pimento cheese sandwiches and you know |
| 1:49.6 | about the green jacket. It's the one major that every single year takes place at the same venue. |
| 1:55.0 | So there's a lot of history that takes place here. You have wide open fairways that are nearly 20 yards |
| 2:00.4 | in width. That's going to present |
| 2:02.0 | this feel of a long driver's paradise. However, the one thing I want to note on this show is that |
