A day after arriving in Qatar, Team Oman completed its first practice round at Doha Golf Club on Thursday, 5 November, ahead of the Pan Arab Golf Championship 2026.

Getting to Know Doha Golf Club

The first practice round is one of the most important days of any championship week. It gives players their first real look at the course: the speed of the greens, the shape of each fairway and the conditions they will face once competition begins.

Omani players Hamood Al Harthi, Badar Al Aamri, Rashad Al Harthy and Nasih Masoud Al Barwani spent the day learning the layout and testing their game on the championship course.

Building the Game Plan

Head Coach Jonathan Bartlett and Assistant Coach Fahad Al Kitani worked closely with the players throughout the round. Together they mapped out a strategy for each hole and focused on the details that make the difference in tournament play.

The delegation is led by Ahmed Faisal Al Jahdhami, Secretary General of the Oman Golf Association, who has been with the team since its departure for Doha.

A Championship of Arab Golf's Best

This year's event brings together the 45th Arab Men's Golf Championship and the 17th Arab Women's Golf Championship. It is the first time Qatar has hosted the Arab Golf Championships, with 73 golfers from 14 Arab countries taking part, as reported by the Qatar Tribune.

Team Oman arrives in Doha carrying the momentum of Cairo, where Oman's juniors won two gold medals and one silver at the Pan Arab Junior Golf Championship 2026.

What's Next

The team returns to the course for a second practice round on 6 November, followed by the official opening ceremony. Competition begins on 7 November.
