Close view of oak balls, called a “chôlette” (pronounced: show-let), and wooden clubs, called “rabot” (pronounced: rah-bo) used by U.S. members of the Chievres/Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) community participating in a traditional festivity in the town of Chièvres. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of “crossage”, takes place the day after Mardi Gras. Players drive chôlettes with rabots into metal kegs targets set up around town. Whenever a player is ready to swing, he yells: “Chôlette”. Chievres, Belgium, Feb. 18, 2015. (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Henri Cambier/Released)
