Default How to land on a grass airstrip

Can anybody point out a good bibliography or article that describes the
differences in landing on a grass airstrip for the first time, tips and
advices? Thanks

Actually, I find my landings are better on grass that hard surface. I
feel real good then go to my homme airport with asphalt and do terrible.
A friend of mine has a 3000' E/W grass strip right up on a lake. Fun to
fly in and out of. However, you have to watch landing in the evening to
the west. The sun will blind you. Because of the upslope, protocol is to
land up hill to the west and take off downhill to the east and over the
lake, unless the wind is such that that you should use the appropriate
runway. 90% ofthe time the wind is out for the south.
