The Alexander Technique and Golf
Vickie,

I was curious if you have any exposure to this system of proprioception. I don't know much about it, but it appears there might be some application to the golf stroke and specifically Homers dictate to "look, look, look". It is based on the simple theory that as unbalanced movements are repeated, they become subconscious habit and can create tension. The system teaches you to recognize the movement habit and retrain it if necessary.
The system was invented in the 19th century and has a network of teachers worldwide. You can learn the system on your own, but is difficult to master without a trained instructor. Sounds familiar and intriguing.

Thanks,

Bagger
