Putt4eagle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Since this forum discusses a lot about loft, I thought I would pass a kernel of knowledge along. On a windows machine (not sure about Macs), in order to type the degree symbol, you hold the Alt button and type 0176 after the number you are wishing to denote. So if I was talking about my sixty degree wedge I would type 60 - hold the alt key and then type 0176. The result is.... 60° Just my .02¢ (¢ is 0162, by the way). Rounds per year: 80-90. Handicap: 11.6 In my Bag: Driver - Taylormade SLDR (Adjusted 1/2 to the draw side and 8* loft) Fairway Woods: 3 & 5 Taylormade SLDR Irons 4-AW: Taylormade M2 (2016) Wedges: Volkey SM6 56* and SM7 60* Balls: ProVx - preferred, Calloway Chrome second. Holes in one: None Albatross: ONE! Eagles: Many Favorite golf slogan: It's a target game, not a distance game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiftyNiblick Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've mistakenly been using ALT 0186, which isn't correct. ALT 0176 is correct. Character map is good for a lot of things. Especially those French, German, and Spanish doodles on top of some of their letters. And vulgar fractions. And other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
