For an effective short field arrival, do it shallow and slow and nose-high with power, on the back of the drag curve, then chop the power over the threshold. But don't land anywhere you can't take off from!
And of course if it's a short off-airfield strip ensure beforehand there are no obstructions you don't know about on the approach (trees, power lines etc) as forward viz will not be good with the above technique.
Another problem with landing too fast is the aeroplane still has enough speed to fly. Any bumps (grass strips have loads) will have you airbourn again. Do it fully held off, and once it's down it's down!
