Good point Lyle. One of my many swing flaws is cupping, which I believe starts on my first move away from the ball.
Do you have a drill for starting the lower body moving first? I remember once you mentioned to me about a little push away from the body with the hands at the top of the back swing.

I don't believe that a golfer should do anything consciously to have the lower body move first as this just happens IF one thinks of hitting down on the ball.

The motion you referred to is what the hands/arms do at the transition from back swing to downswing, that is, they are moved away fin the opposite direction of the target. Watch Ernie Els here http://www.pgatour.com/swingplex/00/65/22/index.html from the back view, to see what is meant.
