There was a collective sigh of relief as deep as one of Oakmont’s bunkers from golfers and course owners across Pennsylvania when Gov. Tom Wolf announced that golf courses, which had been shut down since March 13, can reopen on Friday.
Wolf’s decision, which was announced Monday, includes all public and private courses, in addition to driving ranges, in the state. Courses have been allowed to maintain their properties during the shutdown because maintenance crews — and landscape businesses — were considered “essential services.”
