U.S. Army Chaplain Lt. Col. William Sager, assigned to U.S. Army Garrison Benelux, adjusts his position before hitting during the traditional 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 an 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 Pascal Demeuldre/Released)
