U.S. family member Ray Shattuck of the Chievres/ Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) community, evaluates his shot and shouts "chôlette" 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)
