Except for the gopher holes. I believe you. But I suspect that the
majority of instructors would classify a turf landing as a soft field
landing. And how would a flight test examiner look at it?

Around here, if it hasn't rained in two or more days, the turf is as hard
as any concrete or asphalt strip you'll ever land on.

Around here, instructors take students to turf strips to practice soft field
landings. They don't do it where you're from? Maybe a different syllabus.
