The Greenwood, Mathis store hosted their 10th annual Sizzlin’ Showdown Golf Tournament on Wednesday, May 16th, 2012. Overseen by general manager, Lowrie Wilson, the yearly tournament has been a cornerstone of the Chili’s Greenwood location as a vital way to contribute to their community since the store opened in 2001. This event is sponsored by several local businesses, like JES Restaurant Equipment , as well as larger companies, including The Index-Journal , Quality Chrysler , Bi-Lo , Pepsi Co , Budweiser , Brinker Store and many more.
The game takes place at the beautiful Hunter’s Creek golf club with a cost of $60 per player, which covers the use of the golf carts, greens fees, range balls, the awards ceremony and an early lunch provided by Chili’s and their kitchen employees. After the shotgun start at 1 pm the players can enjoy bottles of water, refreshing sodas, and cold beer served throughout the course by friendly Chili’s waitresses and bartenders. All of the Mathis store managers participated, this year sporting bright pink golf shirts in support of breast cancer awareness , along with the regional manager, several employees, other store managers and many loyal customers.
At the awards ceremony the winning team is given a gift certificate and afterwords the proceeds are then used for an evening Texas Hold’em Tournament where more prizes are awarded. Thanks to the chili-heads, the sponsors and all the wonderful players the Mathis store raised approximately $4400 for the Greenwood Humane Society this year.
Chili’s Grill & Bar is well known as a great family restaurant and bar in Greenwood where guests can enjoy delicious food and excellent service at a great price. Over the years they have become a pillar in the Greenwood foodservice industry for maintaining an ambient atmosphere and lasting customer relationships. The Chili’s crew, along with the JES staff, would also like to encourage everyone to please be responsible and spay and neuter your pets.
