The 4th Desmond T. Doss Memorial Golf Tournament
- Date: Monday | October 13th, 2025
- Location: The Bear Trace Golf Course at Harrison Bay, 8919 Harrison Bay Rd. Harrison, TN 37341
The Desmond Doss Memorial Golf Tournament (DDMGT) is the Key Charity Event to carry on Desmond’s legacy by the Desmond Doss Foundation. The DDMGT Event travels around the country, similar to the U.S. Open and is held yearly at a 5-Star destination location, inviting individuals to participate as players or to become a Patron Sponsor of American Veterans 1st Responders. Teachers and the local community comes together to celebrate the heroism and values of Medal of Honor recipient Desmond T. Doss.
Our goal is to always make this event one of the most respected and prestigious amateur tournaments in America. Every participant will leave with a deeper understanding of Desmond’s values of patriotism, morals and unconditional love for all.
This year’s DDMGT follows a very special evening reception in honor of the 80th Anniversary of Desmond Doss’ Medal of Honor that will be held at the Charles H. Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, TN. Everyone is welcome. For the Reception information and details, please CLICK HERE.
Desmond’s deeply held post-war passion was to inspire youth to become the next generation of solid citizens, while bringing hope to his fellow Veterans. The Doss Foundation has taken Desmond’s lead, and in partnership with the Medal of Honor Society, is fostering programs designed for youth leaders and educators across the country to mentor young people with constructive direction in their lives, thereby instilling in them the following character values:
Courage | Conviction | Integrity | Humility | Selflessness | Faith | Patriotism
DDMGT Participants will have the rewarding experience of being part of this “above & beyond” and “inside the ropes” experience, which will bring a greater understanding of the Doss Foundation and its mission and initiatives.
