Victory in Villena for Supermoto Ace Sunday 14 th April saw Spain’s best Supermoto racers descend upon the Chicharra Kart racing circuit at Villena in Alicante for round two of the Spanish Supermoto championship. It was Britain’s Mat Ford-Dunn from Bullas in Murcia who put on a superb display of riding in both of the SM Master 35 Races to clinch the overall victory. With a large crowd watching the day’s racing, Mat qualified his Supermotoland SML 450 race bike on the front row of the grid for the first of his two races. With a good start and a strong pace, Mat was in a comfortable 2 nd position before a small crash in the dirt section allowed the 3 rd placed rider to catch him, but once underway again, Mat opened a gap and held it to the line to take 2 nd position. The Supermotoland Race Team briefed Mat on the grid for the 2 nd of his two races and he knew exactly who he had to beat to gain the overall win. Mat’s start was not so good this time and he was locked in a 4-rider battle for the lead throughout the whole race and despite many overtaking attempts he was unable to pass the two riders in front without risking a crash, and finished a close third. Mat knew that was enough for the overall victory and made sure that he didn’t make any mistakes that might cost him the win. Once the chequered flag dropped, Mat was confirmed as the overall winner and took to the top step of the podium for the first time this year. Mat’s sponsors, Advance Moves International Removals and Stratton Motorsports were delighted with the result and the many expat race fans that turned up to watch a great day’s racing. Mat is next in action at Oliva in Denia on the 5 th May for the 2 nd round of the Valencian Championships.

It’s such a frustrating experience; you just don’t know what to do. The following tips feature some midround fixes that can help you stop the bleeding, build your confidence and get your game back on track. Mid-Round Golf Tip: Back to basics Suddenly, out of nowhere, the bad shots start to ruin your round. Do what the tour pros do; start by checking your grip, alignment and ball position. These are the areas they attend to, not only on the practice tee, but during their rounds. The next time you watch them on TV, notice how meticulously they set-up to the ball before every shot. They understand bad shots start with bad basics, and they also understand this is an easy fix that does not require “working on your swing,” which you should never do during the round. Mid-Round Golf Tip: Get in rhythm No matter how good a player you are, it’s common to temporarily lose your rhythm during a round of golf. First, try and relax (not always easy to do when the bad shots start flying off your club face). Next, take a couple of extra practice swings holding two or three clubs, as you would do prior to warming up before your round. Another idea is to sing to yourself during your practice swings which will improve your tempo. Again, notice how many times tour pros take a few extra practice swings before an important shot - it’s because they’re working on their rhythm. Mid-Round Golf Tip: Close your eyes If you find yourself losing your swing, try taking practice swings with your eyes closed. I have on occasion had students hit balls with their eyes closed, in order to eliminate hitting at the ball instead of swinging the club. When bad shots pop up during the round, it’s common for golfers to overly fixate on the ball and thus lose their swing. Swinging with the eyes closed helps you release the club head through the impact zone. Mid-Round Golf Tip: When putting, look at the hole A couple of weeks ago a PGA Tour Pro missed so many short putts on his Saturday round that on Sunday he started to look at the hole when he putted, instead of looking at the ball. This is an excellent “fix” if you find yourself missing short putts. By looking at the hole, you free-up your mind and naturally release the putter head through the contact zone. As a result he putted much better on Sunday - too bad he didn’t use this fix during Saturday’s round.

Mazarrón FC’s rollercoaster season has continued in the usual manner. After a run of four games in which only one point was achieved, a 4-0 home victory over E.M. Fuente Alamo and a creditable 1-1 away draw at C.D. Alberca after the Easter break, gave renewed hope that a top half of the table finish to the season could be achieved. The return of midfield dynamo, Poyato, brought back some much needed steel into that area and allowed Baeza, Alfonso and Barrachina more freedom to move forward into attacking positions. Two other new signings, Chicho and Clemente have boosted the defence and Jose Da and Diego junior have returned to training with the Club following the end of their seasons at Los Alcazares and Elche respectively. played and advertised in the local media, on our website www.losamigosdemazarron. es and on posters at various points throughout Camposol and Mazarrón.
