U.S. family member Olinthus Bright of the Chievres/Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) community, 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)
