CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is related to and claims priority to U.S. Utility patent application Ser. No. 09/877,433 filed Jun. 8, 2001, entitled BODY ATTACHED GOLF AIM ALIGNMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] n/a FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0003] This present invention relates to a golf aid, and more particularly, to a device for improving a person's golf swing. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Golfers continuously strive to lower their scores by increasing their practice time and by purchasing various accessories to achieve advantageous results. One way to affect a golf stroke is to properly control the club's direction and aim. [0005] Alternatively, the embodiments described herein also recognize that golf swing and body misalignment can have a major effect on a golfer's performance when driving or putting a golf ball. Once a golfer strokes through the golf ball and misses the target, a golfer has no way of knowing whether his body and golf swing were properly aligned or misaligned. Even if the golfer knew that his body was misaligned, he has no way of knowing what aspect of his stance or swing he needed to correct in order to achieve proper body or swing alignment. [0006] Many golfers believe the key to aiming the ball directly at the target starts with the golfer's stance. As such, golfers have attempted to analyze their stance by reviewing their own body. [0007] In addition to fixing their golf stance, golfers have attempted to improve their score and their aim by attaching guidance and aiming systems to the golf clubs themselves. This technique must be distinguished from training of the body and swing alignment, since it addresses only the club head direction and not the underlying technique of the user's swing and body alignment. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] The embodiments disclosed herein provided an interactive system and methodology for coordinating a golfer's aim and control of his body and swing alignment through the use of an external reference separated from his body. [0009] In one embodiment, a housing having a laser is provided. Included are means for affixing the housing to a location on a golfer's body, wherein the laser emits a visible signal that points toward an external reference. The external reference provides the golfer with a swing alignment reference separate from the golfer's body. Means for activating and deactivating the laser is also provided. [0010] In another embodiment, a golf swing alignment system is provided. The system includes a plurality of golf swing alignment devices, wherein each golf swing alignment device includes a housing having a laser. Means for affixing the housing to a location on a golfer's body is also provided. The laser emits a visible signal that points toward an external reference for providing the golfer with a swing alignment reference separate from the golfer's body. Means for activating and deactivating one or more of the plurality of golf swing alignment devices is also provided. [0011] In yet another embodiment, a method is provided for achieving proper body alignment when swinging a golf club by using one or more golf swing alignment devices. The method includes the steps of fastening the one or more golf swing alignment devices to a golfer's body; activating at least one of the one or more golf swing alignment devices so that the devices emit a laser signal; and adjusting the activated alignment devices so that the laser signal is directed at a target. [0012] In still another embodiment, a golf swing alignment device is provided including a housing having a laser, means for securing the housing to a location remote from a golfer's body, wherein the laser emits a visible signal directed toward an external reference for providing the golfer with a swing alignment reference separate from the golfer's body, and means for activating and deactivating the laser.
