Analysis
The plt reported that when he arrived at the arpt to land, the wind was from 330 deg gusting to about 15 to 17 KTS. On final apch to land on rwy 27L, he decided to slip the acft & use a faster than normal speed to compensate for the wind & extra weight of the passengers. After landing, he was 'running out of rwy' & decided to 'let the plane go thru the grass to slow down.' However, the wing tip of the acft hit a wind sock pole & was damaged.
