Thatās not a good mindset to have going into a controlling session. You want to cater to the pilots a provide service to them not cater to your self.

I flew the Expressway visual into LGA 31 earlier on Expert. It was a direct crosswind of 10 knots gusting 15, with moderate turbulence, and I still had the guts to do it. But perfect visibility, I couldnāt help myself. Definitely a fun challenge.

Weāve been down that road before, unfortunately. Probably safer not to re-hash it again here. :)
For better or worse, see the reasoning (justified orā¦well, not) here:

Actually I did pattern work yesterday at PHOG and I did better than I thoughtā¦It made the airport very busyā¦and gusty winds with the go aroundsā¦my head was spinningā¦lolā¦I dont mind pattern work as long as they really remain in the pattern i setā¦also i get confused when the pilots say remaining in the pattern but leave my airspaceā¦should i tell them to change frequency?
Yes, they donāt know what it means

Trueā¦also when remaining in the pattern shouldnāt the pilot fly at pattern altitude or no?
Remember its AGL, so if youāre controlling KPSP at 500 gear MSL, props will fly pattern altitude 1500 and jets 2000, as that is 1000 & 1500 AGL
Thank youā¦I really needed that infoā¦It helps with me learning how to control during pattern workā¦To be honest i was afraid to broaden my herizonā¦But after yesterday pattern work doesnt scare meā¦As long as pilots listenā¦but hey it is ts1ā¦lol
