Greaves joined 12 other players from Australia and travelled to Traverse City, Michigan for the tournament. 

Staying in luxury at a resort that had three golf courses attached to it, players were treated like royalty and the fine dining and pampering obviously paid off as Greaves and the Australian team enjoyed great results.

Conditions hindered players on day one of the event with Greaves firing a score of 91, which she repeated on day two. A few tips from her caddy helped her improve to shoot an 88 on the third day.

She followed that form through to finish the event with another score of 88 in the final round to finish with 

a 72-hole total of

358. 

“When I left I was hoping to get into the top 10 and I came eighth in the world,” Greaves said.

“Our Aussie women’s team came second. It was a great experience for me.” 

After impressing during the event, Chantell even had a warm 

invitation from one of her fellow competitors.

“I met the champion for 2014, Patty Lopez and she asked me if I was coming to the World Deaf Golf Championships in 2016 at Denmark,” Greaves said.

“That gives me two years to save.”

“As for now I hope to play in a few of the Deaf Golf NSW events and the Australian Championship in April next year.”
