Army Chaplain Lt. Col. William Sager assigned to Army Garrison Benelux, tries to win "by all means" a few inches during the traditional festivity in the town of Chièvres, Belgium, Feb. 10, 2016. This annual golf-like, medieval sport of “crossage," takes place the day after MardiGras. 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.” ( Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Pascal Demeuldre/released)
