UKKO Tour Ambassador James Busby (pictured wearing Midnight Blue “Maddox” Polo) has booked his place on next season’s Challenge Tour after winning the biggest event of the 2011 PGA EuroPro Tour season, the 888poker.com Tour Championships at the Intercontinental Mar Menor Golf Resort in Murcia, Spain.
James’s ability, hard work and determination have paid off as he won the £15,000 first prize and finishes 2nd on the EuroPro order of merit… which gives him automatic promotion to the European Challenge Tour for 2012.
Congratualtions from all of us at UKKO, we look forward to seeing you compete at the next level along with the other UKKO Challenge Tour Ambassadors Matt Cryer, Jack Doherty and Matthew Southgate.

Hot! 70-degrees-every-day-is what we mean -HOT, back from the Algarve, Portugal, having played the Urban Golf 2nd Winter Invitational. Difficult to determine what was more intoxicating; The incredible playing experience we had at San Lorenzo and Vila Sol, or; the abundant ‘Super Bock’ lager which flowed freely in the restaurants in t…he warm evenings. We’d like to thank all those who particpated and all who offered glowing feedback about the fun and golf they enjoyed – your satisfaction makes it all worth while. When the dust settled after 36 holes of Stableford, Andre Godal emerged as the victor to claim the silverware AND the Free Return trip in 2012 courtesy of Urban Golf and YourGolfTravel. What a great season opener, and what a great winter warm-up for The Race To Palm Springs at Urban Golf. Come and join in, Every Tuesday at 7pm.
If you spot anyone in UKKO, let us know and you could win a prize. No photographing yourself in the mirror though, not only would that be cheating, it’s wrong.
UKKO has just been shortlisted in the “Best Apparel Brand” category at the 2009 Today’s Golfer Awards.
After only trading since the summer, we’re made up to be thought of as one of the best clothing brands on the market by the largest Golf Magazine in the UK.
Being up against the likes of Addidas, Puma, Pringle & JLindeberg firmly places us as a rank outsider considering we’re only a few months old, but it’s a great testament to how far we’ve come since launching in July. And if we can see off at least one of them it would make our year.
So, if you can spare a second to vote, please vote UKKO using the below link now.
If David Haye can do it then you never know…
