civilian Kara Emerson, assigned to Army Garrison Benelux, Family Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR), tries to ram the target and finalize her course 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
