Landing on undulating surfaces

Our local grass strip was on an uncommonly used runway today which has quite pronounced undulations (especially midway over the main runway). Landed ok but had quite a bounce on the runout just after touchdown as was in a 152 and protecting the nose gear so had a bit of back pressure. How do others generally handle such situations - do you release back pressure after the bumps and 'fly' it along the ground in an effort to stop the nosewheel bottoming out?
