  The "Chili String" is an annual , end of year outing around these parts.The "Chili" part is because it's usually cold out, and because thats our meal afterwards.The "String" part is because it's a 4 man scramble where each team is given 10 feet of string to improve the lie of the ball anyway you see fit, this includes using it to finish out a putt that might have been missed. You are not charged a stroke for using the string, but you must cut and dispose of the section of string you  have used.  The skin pot was $1,200.00 this year with 20 teams competing. My team finished 15 under par, We strung in an ace on a par 4 that I left 8 foot short off of the tee. We hoped that was the only skin out, only to find out there were 7 skins. We won our green fees back and got a chili dinner that killed me all night. There was no payout for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd places. Just play all out for the skins. Overall it was a beautiful day for golf.
