One of the great joys that I have experienced over the last 10 years in writing this column is to watch businesses grow, thrive, and adapt to the demands of our local economy. One local entrepreneur who has done just that is Darin Van Tassell, co-owner of the Clubhouse complex in Statesboro, which is home to the Clubhouse, Hackers golf range, Twin Falls miniature golf course, and an ATEC batting cage facility. Van Tassell is also an associate professor in the Center for International Studies and the Department of Political Science at Georgia Southern.
