More than $3500 has been raised for the Peter Murphy Memorial Fund (PMMF) at the annual Forbes Rugby Union
Club (FRUC) Charity Golf Day.
More than 70 golfers took part in the day (21 March) which honours the late Peter Murphy, who was a former
player, club president and lifelong supporter of the Forbes Platypi.
The PMMF was established following the passing of the popular high-school teacher in 2017.

“Pete Murphy was such a big contributor to the local community, and there are countless stories of his generosity,
so this golf day has always been our small way of carrying on his legacy,” Life Pharmacy Group CEO, Michael
Flannery, said.
“Over the last eight years, the PMMF has been helping disadvantaged youths in the Forbes region, by contributing
to education fees or medical expenses and, just like Pete, it’s having a great impact on these young people. We’re
happy to support the PMMF any way we can.”
Sponsors for the event included Life Pharmacy Group (LPG), Fugen Constructions, Green Grove Group, Causeway,
Bushman’s, Bernardi’s and The Book Dispensary.
The winners on the day were Tony Cogswell, Alf Davis, Andrew Cogswell, Andrew Dukes. Runners up were Troy
Howe, Randall Grayson, Steve Betland, and Charlie Dwyer.
More than $650 in proceeds from the drinks cart was donated to support Forbes CanAssist.
“A special thank you goes out to the Bernardi family who again donated the drinks for the drinks cart which enables
the taking to be donated to our local Can Assist volunteers,” Michael said.
