Simply hold down ALT and type in 248 from the number pad. The numbers keys above your qwerty keyboard will not work. Use the NUM keys.

That's not really the best way to go when using HTML (like on this forum).

And since y'all cannot enter HTML directly, here's how you do it here on this site: [ent]deg[/ent] = ° "ent" stands for entity, and will encapsulate whatever's in the middle between "&" and ";". So, some other examples: [ent]eacute[/ent] = é [ent]ntilde[/ent] = ñ [ent]ouml[/ent] = ö [ent]frac12[/ent] = ½ [ent]trade[/ent] = ™ P.S. On a Mac, it's just option-k in non-HTML documents (word processors, etc.). Yet another thing that's easier on a Mac...

Hold down option and press all the keys. See what happens.

Not for the forum, though. For those you'll want to know a little HTML.

Hmmm, I've always used ALT + 0176. I know that most of those symbols have a couple different codes for them, but I didn't know what the 2nd one was for the degree symbol.

And since I know zip about html, that is all new to me... good info though.

You bumped a thread from 2007 and called yourself lazy? :)

option-k on a Mac these days. No need for HTML since we have a rich text editor and use UTF.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      By Shindig · Posted

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
