Darcy Babutzke, NATO Communications and Information Agency, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE), is about to finish off a game as she participates in traditional a festivity in the town of Chièvres, Belgium, Feb. 18, 2015. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of “crossage," takes place the day after Mardi Gras. Players drive a oak ball, called a “chôlette” (pronounced: show-let), with a wooden club, or “rabot” (pronounced: rah-bo), into metal kegs targets set up around town. Whenever a player is ready to swing, he yells: “Chôlette.”(U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Henri Cambier/Released)
