2013 was one of the most successful years in Kedleston Park’s history, with Wesselingh, Walley and Moore all collecting some silverware on their travels. 15-year-old junior member, Bradley Moore, became one of the youngest ever winners of the McEvoy Trophy, while Ian Walley won the coveted Lombard Trophy for the second year running as well the PGA Pro-Captain Challenge.
