i remeber seeing some video where they were saying on your backswing when your arms are fully extended out your club should be at a 90* angle. is this correct?

IMHO, No that is not correct. When your arms are fully extended (waist high), the club should be in the same position relative to the arms at address. The club should be pointing in the same direction as the arms. As the swing progresses, the elbows start to bend then the wrists start to hinge. That way the arms control the movement of the club and not the wrists. All this happens pretty naturally.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

At the top of your swing, yes. It should be 90* or fully cocked. How quickly you get there is debatable. Look at Ernie Els swing. He has a fairly quick hinge. At waist height, he's already close to 90*. Now look at Jack Nicklaus. He had a very slow hinge.

      Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
