    U.S. civilian Lisa Shattuck, with U.S. Army Garrison Benelux, strikes with all her strength under the amused glance of Mike Mickelson, also with U.S. Army Garrison Benelux 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)
