I have made worse landings than that. Why just last week I came in a little hot and landed three times.

Logged them all.

When I was a low time pilot my instructor advised me not to fly that day because of gusty windy conditions. I flew despite his advice. When I landed the glider I bounced it about three times across the field but fortunately did not bend anything. My instructor came over and said, that last landing was very nice. However, I did not care for the first two in the least." The conversation deteriorated from this point. He told me to bring the glider back to the hanger and strip out everything inside of it so he could "inspect it for damage." This will take several hours. When I had it stripped out he did not even look inside for damage. He then said, put it back together. He did inspect it after I put everything back in to make sure I had done it right. I learned my lesson that day.
