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

Woodstock’s Noonday Creek Trail extension to open Saturday

The Noonday Creek Trail Extension linking Woodstock to Cobb County will officially open to the public on Saturday, the city of Woodstock announced. The new trail segment extends Woodstock's existing Noonday Creek Trail south by 1.5 miles, connecting the trailhead near the Woodstock Arts Event Green to Noonday Park in Cobb County. Woodstock and Cherokee County’s trail system is now connected to the one in Cobb County, where officials are planning to eventually connect the Noonday Creek Trail to the Silver Comet Trail, one of the largest paved trails in the United States. "This project has been nearly a decade in the making, and we're thrilled to celebrate its completion," Mayor Michael Caldwell said in a statement. "The Noonday Creek Trail Extension is much more than a recreational amenity. It strengthens regional connectivity, expands transportation options, and creates new opportunities for residents and visitors to experience the natural beauty of our community and beyond." Woodstock officials broke ground on the project in December 2023 with representatives from Cherokee County, Cobb County, the Atlanta Regional Commission, and the Georgia Department of Transportation. Part of the trail connection runs under Highway 92. The project received funding support from the Georgia Department of

Whitefield Academy welcoms in Mount Pisgah to open postseason

Whitefield Academy won its fifth consecutive game with last week's 56-44 come-from-behind Region 5AA victory over Trinity Christian and in the process captured its second region championship in the last four years. The reward for the hard work is an opportunity to host Mount Pisgah Christian on Friday in the first round of the Class AA-AAAA Private state playoffs. This is Whitefield's 10th straight trip to the postseason, and it enters the matchup averaging 43.2 points per game while holding opponents to 22.4. The Wolfpack have scored 42-or more points in each of their last five games and kept opponents from scoring 20-or-more points in three of their last four games. Led by Landon Ryan (96-of-150, 1,579 yds., 20 TDs), Amos Robinson (189 car., 1,206 yds., 18 TDs), Ian Kelly (44 rec., 702 yds., 12 TDs) and West Virgina commit Luke Linder (tight end), Whitefield believes that it has momentum entering the playoffs and is looking for it to continue. "Ever since our non-region schedule, the kids have really bought in to what we've been teaching them," Whitefield coach Robert Walsh said. "They've learned a lot. And early on when we were down in games and had to battle back,
