"This change was also consented by the Patron himself, Head of State, Tun Juhar Mahiruddin," said Blackie during a press conference, Thursday. Proceeds from the event, including a "blind auction" will be donated to the Nur Jauhar Foundation, which was established in 2012 by Juhar and his consort Toh Puan Norlidah RM Jasni. The Patron's Charity Cup will still continue its tradition of having a golf tournament in the morning and followed by a prize presentation gala dinner in the evening. "We are expecting some 200 amateur golfers to participate in the tournament, which will be in accordance to the Rules of Amateur Status issued by the R&A and with valid golf insurance only and about 900 people for the gala dinner at the Grand Ballroom of The Magellan Sutera. "The tournament is a team event based on Gross Two-Ball-Stroke Play while the Nett Team event is based on System 36 Handicapping on the day Handicap and divided by two after combining two players' handicaps," he added.
