High-tech golf driving range coming to Cherokee County

In the summer of 2027, Cherokee County golfers will be able to refine their skills at a high-tech practice range and golf academy that’s scheduled to open in Woodstock by late July. RangeWorks, located at 1465 Woodstock Parkway, is under construction now on a 3.5-acre lot adjacent to The Outlet Shoppes of Atlanta complex. Founder and owner George Mattingly says RangeWorks will combine the best aspects of outdoor golf ranges where shots are hit into open fields and indoor facilities where golfers hit balls directly into screens that use technology to provide feedback on the distance, direction and quality of shots. “We want to be in between the traditional range and the screen experience where the ball travels only about 10 feet before hitting a screen,” Mattingly said. “I want my patrons to have more ball flight and more of an organic experience than just hitting the screen.” A golfer practicing from one of RangeWorks’ 32 practice bays will see his or her shots travel about 80 yards before making contact with a screen that will send instant feedback on the shot’s performance to a screen at the practice bay. “So you experience the flight of the ball, and then

Cheeseburger slider restaurant opens in Acworth

A new cheeseburger slider restaurant opened its doors in Acworth Wednesday. Smalls Sliders opened its new location located at 3240 North Cobb Parkway. It is the slider restaurant’s third location in Georgia and second in Cobb County, following the one in Marietta located at 2355 Windy Hill Road. Smalls serves fresh, cooked-to-order cheeseburger sliders along with waffle fries, shakes, queso dip and its house sauce. It offers walk-up ordering windows and drive-thru service rather than a traditional indoor area. The restaurant has a distinct modular design built from orange shipping containers. “We’ve seen firsthand the enthusiasm that Smalls Sliders brings to the communities it serves, and we’re proud to continue growing the brand’s presence in Georgia,” franchisee Rocky Moore said. “Building on the momentum of our Marietta location, we see tremendous opportunity to introduce even more guests to the Smalls experience. "We look forward to becoming part of the Acworth community, creating local jobs and serving up the fresh, cooked-to-order sliders that have made this brand a fan favorite.”
