Not at all Lambert, unless you are talking about commercial jets in which case you should say so. I had the same issue as '100 hours' so I spent many hours doing circuits at a quiet grass strip when I had about 120 hours with a friendly pilot briefed to tell me what speed I touched down at. I then practiced and practiced holding off. I remember reaching the point where I could put the wheels into the top of the grass blades, and with the engine at idle and speed reducing through about 50 kts (PA28) and actually hear and feel the wheels brushing through the grass before greasing on!
The skills I learnt that summer about landing have helped me at every stage and on every aircraft I've flown in the 3000hrs since then, but like others have said there are still days where you think you are going to grease on but it just crashes on!
Good luck!
