I would love to see some discussion on this point as I was thinking of posting the same question myself. I have noticed the same thing looking at pics of good players, and had some of my best rounds and ball striking later this summer with this thought, although it's a bit disconcerting to look to the right of the ball in the vacinity of the middle/back of my stance. So...
I've had issues with this myself, and something that helps me is to feel like I'm hitting the ball with my back still facing the target. Something else that my brother does is to feel like his left ear dosen't move from the start of the downswing.
