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

One difference which almost bit me in the derrierre' when I was a new pilot
is that a grass strip doesn't have a nice painted centerline or even runway
edges to give you an indication that you're pointed in more or less the
right direction. I had an experience where I drifted well off-line on
takeoff from a grass strip and was more or less oblivious to the problem
until I nearly collected the tree which defined the narrow point of the
strip.

Since then, I've done a much better job of lining up on grass fields and
picking an object at the end of the field to use as an aim point.
