Gov. Tom Wolf will allow golfers to hit the course and boaters to hit the water during the coronavirus pandemic starting Friday. Golf courses, marinas, guided fishing trips and privately owned campgrounds will be able to open on Friday.

This move by Wolf follows precedents set in surrounding states such as New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, which opened up their marinas, boatyards and boat launches for recreational use over a week ago.
