On returning to coe from the south pilot entered a downwind landing for 20 at a 45-degree and flew a standard traffic pattern. Wind was reported as variable at 4 knots. On final, pilot control input was slight RH aileron down pressure to counteract a slight crosswind and rudder pressure to keep on centerline. He flew the VASI lights and was double white in a stable descent at 55-60 mph. He touched down one main first about the 1000? Bars on centerline initially then bounced a couple (2-3) feet back in air, due to stiff gear. Applied back pressure and was caught by a gust of wind pushing tail to left and by time he was able to react aircraft was already starting a ground loop which took him to the right off the runway surface into the grass toward runway 24. About 15? Into grass his tailwheel caught in a clump of grass and a divot, which caused the aircraft to spin rapidly causing the wing and tail to dip making contact with the ground causing substantial damage to left wing, left aileron and left horizontal stab. Pilot believed it was a normal bounce and he followed normal procedures by applying back stick pressure. Hindsight he believes if he had more aileron input in he would not have spun as easily.
