Gabe has completely transformed my game in the past six months that I have worked with him. For…read morestarters, I went from scoring in the 100-110 range before working with Gabe to shooting as low as 92 in less than a month. This is possible because Gabe has the teaching and playing experience to coach you in all aspects of your game, whether it's course management or building confidence around your shots. Gabe has elevated my awareness of my own swing and helped me stay committed to making long term swing changes. Like many golfers starting out, I still struggle with the basics like consistent contact, club face control, and release. No instructor can transform your swing overnight, but TRUST he will give you the right things to work on and many ways to work on them. As a result, I am making solid contact with the ball more frequently, have 15+ yards in distance per club, and am hitting straighter shots. Most importantly, Gabe will teach you how to be your own coach. Working with Gabe over time has given me the tools to diagnose and straighten out issues in my own swing even on a day when "I just can't seem to hit the ball." It has also taught me to consume the myriad golf content I encounter online with a critical eye. I know what I need to work on thanks to Gabe, and any of the bad rounds I shoot now and going forward would not be for a lack of excellent instruction. If this is helpful context, I picked up golf in 2020, have mediocre natural hand-eye coordination, and am not a particularly quick learner. All that is to say that if Gabe can help my game this much in six months, he can most certainly help anyone. His encyclopedic knowledge of the golf swing would make him a great coach for complete beginners and advanced players alike.

The end of the season for golf is rapidly approaching in concert with the changing of the seasons,…read morewith the trees are about two weeks into their foliage. On this day with a 63* temperature, Kissena Golf Course was in perfect shape and the course really showed its beauty. ~The Putting greens: from the practice tee all the way through the round were fast, rolled true and without ball marks, burnt out grassy areas nor and obvious appendages. ~Tee boxes and Fairways: The leaves were blown off the teeing area as well as off the fairways, so a well struck shot would not have you in continual search for your ball. However an offline shot could result in a lost ball penalty, as the leaves would cover your missed attempt. With the issue of leaves aside, it has been a few years since I played Kissena Golf Course because I mostly wrote it of as a "beginners course" playing to a par 64, 4511 total yards from the tips. When the round was going along, playing the back tees I found there were particular holes that I did not recall that posed some significant challenges. Hole number 2 is the number one handicap hole on the course, mainly due to its length of 358 yards which would be a shot par four on most all other championship (par 72) golf courses. But to compare Kissena to the par 72 courses is not a fair comparison, it needs to be judged from an Executive golf course lens. Playing with a beginner, I understood Kissena better as to what it offers someone just coming up in the game. More specifically, people in the same general skill level who are not looking for a challenge that would find them over their heads. I did find some shots that took all of my skill and concentration to pull off. Off the top of my head, the par three 9th hole measuring 190 yards plays uphill about 40 feet, into the breeze and to a small green. Missing short, left and long are all dead man's land. I nailed a 4iron as good as I could hit it and luckily walked away with a par because in actual yardage I had the hole playing closer to 220 yards, probably a bit more. The number 12 hole, par 3 is no picnic either, long and with lots of danger lurking everywhere. The course is set atop some high ground right in the heart of Fresh Meadows and there are particular places on the course where the visuals of Queens are wonderful, not to mention two locations where you can see the Manhattan skyline.

Being a beginner, I knew I was bad and Danny sure didn't hold back in reminding me of that!…read more From the very beginning, Danny seemed impatient and easily irritated, almost as if he didn't want to be there. His instructions were often difficult to understand and he'd get annoyed when I'd ask clarifying questions. The lessons involved presenting rather difficult concepts in whole (e.g. the entire golf swing), and then observing my attempts at it. Each mistake was met with visible frustration, putting me in a constant state of unease, which felt counterproductive to the learning process. In moments when I could have used guidance, he'd let out a big sigh or resort to periods of silence, increasing my anxiety and self-consciousness. His reactions were so harsh that I found myself constantly apologizing for making the slightest of mistakes. During the second lesson (of my life btw!), he actually yelled, "Oh my God" in frustration after I missed a shot. Talk about a confidence killer! I couldn't believe that a PGA pro that was being paid to teach would have that kind of a reaction to a total beginner missing a shot. The fact that I miss shots was the very point of why I was taking lessons in the first place! Plus, it was super embarrassing as there were many people around us. Ultimately, Danny's tendency to respond rudely and condescendingly to my beginner-level mistakes was deflating, and led to a decrease in my motivation to practice and continue learning with him. Although I prepaid for 5 lessons, after the second one, I was done. Despite the financial loss, the thought of enduring another session was more agonizing. I was excited to start learning golf, this was supposed to be a way to unwind and have fun. Regrettably, and despite the positive reviews, this was not my experience. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I felt like I had to let people know what they might be getting into, especially since his lessons aren't cheap. I really hope Danny can take this feedback into consideration and change the way he teaches to be more supportive to us golf newbies.

During that long stretch of time I always enjoyed it because you have to flat out, make golf shots. The front side favors a target golfer, as they can manage the course with smart play. Bombers beware, until you 9 tee where you can go driver. A smart player with ball control is a dangerous opponent to take on. (himt) It took me a wintry weekend round to take all of the variables out of what would make a reviewer slam FP. Just looking at the course's offering's regarding layout, hole routing, landscape and the fact it gets a ton of traffic, which explains some conditions of greens and teeing areas in disrepair, Forest Park is a good course for what it is. Fee's have jumped so much in the past years across the board in golf, no course went unscathed. Hint-take seriously the placement of trees that you have to always consider all along the course I will be the first to admit number 3 green is always an issue, even when it was number 17 before the reroute of the course. Number 4 was number 1 tee,(with a mobile home clubhouse and no pro-shop) and so on until 15 tee.. Playing blue tees offer minimal distance from the white tee's, but unless your a +10 or better, stay at the white tee's. Because people unfamiliar with The Rules of Golf, play amazingly haphazard golf with no regard for rules (too many examples to list) that is why play is slow for the most part, one ranger is standard on golf courses and when you have 50% of players that never read The Rules of Golf, what can one possible expect as to play time for a round.
