With or without an instructor, why would a grass strip be a problem?

Ask the FBO. IT is pretty much universal that if you rent and airplane,
you
must land on a paved strip 2000 feet long or longer. It probably has
something
to do with insurance. I won't even attempt to fathom their reasoning.

That's what I was told. An instructor of mine was fired for having me land
on a grass strip. The sad thing was, not only was he one of the best
instructors I've ever had, I had landed (as a passenger) at the same grass
strip in the same FBO's aircraft when the OWNER of the FBO gave me a
discovery flight.
