Frank Molloy[Note 1] (born 1 March 1938) is a Samoan-born New Zealand professional golfer.
As a child, Frank caddied for his father, an amateur golfer who had a three handicap at the makeshift golf course at the Apia racecourse.
This was due to his family's high societal standing and his father's job in the Samoan Police.
[citation needed] While they were on tour in New Zealand, Molloy tutored and played with Roy Phillips, lead vocalist of the British pop group The Peddlers.
Philips and the group liked Molloy so much that they decided to sponsor him to attend 1972 Open Championship.
During the second round he seriously injured his hand striking a rock while attempting to hit his ball out from the rough.
