First, make sure your altimeter is accurately set before launch. Then, when
on short final, carefully watch the altimeter instead of the runway. When at
5 feet AGL, push the stick forward all the way - - hard. While this method
will not usually result in the smoothest of landings, whatever landings you
do manage to accomplish, before being kicked out of your club or banished
from the airfield, will all be pretty much consistent.

So, bumper, it started to rain on your way to the gliderport this
morning?

Then again, I must admit I have seen some landings that seem to have
used the procedure you describe - fun to watch, especially it it's a
G-103 being abused.

Something about practicing no-spoiler landings...
