Following his graduation from Husson, Durfee served as Husson's Associate Golf Coach. Durfee has held Head PGA Professional/Instructor positions at several golf courses in New England and was most recently the Head Golf Coach at Notre Dame Academy and Hanover High School in Massachusetts.

"I am extremely humbled, honored and excited to be named the next head coach of the Bowdoin College men's golf team," said Durfee. "I can't thank Athletic Director Tim Ryan and the search committee enough for such an amazing opportunity. Words can't describe how happy I am to be able to work with these student athletes to help them reach their full potential on the golf course, in the classroom and prepare them for the next stage of their lives. I cannot wait to get started!"
