SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine—The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) Athletics Department has announced the hiring of Scott Nevers as Head Men’s and Women’s Golf Coach effective immediately.

Prior to SMCC, Nevers held the role of Head Golf Coach at Gorham High School from 2017-2023. During his 7-year tenure, the program qualified for the State Championship event six times. Nevers left Gorham with a record of 46-22, and achieved multiple top-5 team finishes in both the boys and girls championship circuits—this including an individual state champion in 2017.

Nevers attended Gorham High School himself where he excelled as a four-year member of the varsity golf program. He continued his playing career at UMass Lowell (NCAA Div. 2) and graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern Maine in 2009.

A member at Val Halla Golf Club, Nevers sports a 2 handicap and plays in tournaments throughout the state including the Maine Amateur and Mid-Amateur.

In addition to his duties with SMCC, Nevers owns and operates Nevers Medical Group, a small business selling portable defibrillators. He resides in Scarborough.

Nevers expressed, “I’m really excited to join SMCC and lead its men’s and women’s golf programs. I truly believe SMCC is the perfect opportunity for golfers looking to continue their playing careers after high school. I’m eager to get started and can’t wait to see where the program goes!”

Associate Dean of Athletics and Alumni Affairs Matt Richards stated, “I’m thrilled to welcome Scott as Head Golf Coach and excited for the further development of both the men’s and women’s programs! Scott’s connection to the high school level coupled with his skill set as a golfer will hugely benefit the recruitment and development of our student-athletes. Welcome aboard Coach Nevers!”
