Nice looking field! Is it the norm to land on the grass?

Glass ships touchdown on the pavement and veer off into the grass. The grass is very bumpy. There is a defacto 'grass runway' parallel and to the right of the pavement used for taildragger and Schweizer landings. Gliders stage to the side of the grass runway and tow onto the pavement. Gliders are usually in ground effect when they make the turn.
