The Westfield Championship
The Westfield Championship (usually referred as The Westfield) is the most prestigious tournament played within the Race To Galloway season (commonly known as RTG). Scheduled during the Spring months of the year, it is a golf tournament based on the stableford scoring system and spread across two days period. Played between the six illustrious golfers; Jeff Sutcliffe, Gavin Wragby, Martin Sutcliffe, David Sutcliffe, Michael Sutcliffe & Tom Sutcliffe. The winning golfer has their name etched onto the hallowed trophy whilst the losing golfer must suffer the embarrassment of being heralded as The Wooden Spoon holder (commonly referred to as the Spoon)

The Champions Dinner, inaugurated by Gavin Wragby in 2017 is held on the first night of the tournament, and is open only to past champions and other members of the RTG. As is tradition, the Spoon holder prepares The Spoon Breakfast on the morning of the second day of play.

The Westfield is defined as having two eras; the Amateur Era and the Modern Era. The Amateur Era spanned six years from 2004 - 2010 and saw The Westfield being played for across multiple times of a year. Each championship was held over one day and was played on a select number of courses; New Galloway Golf Club (NGGC), Stocksfield Golf Club (SGC), Brighouse Bay Golf Club (BBGC). To qualify as a Westfield Championship round, a minimum of the current Westfield holder and two other competitors were required to play.

Although not recognised as the RTG until 2018, The Westfield continued to develop into a more professional, organised golf championship. In 2010, the current Westfield trophy was attained and continues to stand as the winning trophy. Considered as the Modern Era, the Westfield was played at New Galloway Golf Club between 2010 - 2016. In 2017, the Westfield Championship was played over two days for the first time in its history. Day 1 was held at NGGC and day 2 at Cally Palace Golf Club (CPGC) with Wragby the eventual winner, one point ahead of T. Sutcliffe.

Wragby has the most Westfield major wins, with 11 between 2004 to 2019.
