Narrative:

I landed and on roll-out a gust from the left that I failed to anticipate or properly correct for sent the aircraft heading for the dirt on the left side of the runway. I tried to correct to the right using rudder and right brake. This resulted in a slow ground loop to the right. No damage was done and as the engine was still running I taxied off the runway and back to my hangar. The aircraft showed no signs of damage. An ia will do a thorough inspection later this week.I think a momentary lack of attention on my part during the landing phase in a tail wheel aircraft allowed side drift on touchdown causing the unstable roll out and subsequent ground loop. In addition; I was landing in the three point attitude and feel a wheel landing would have been more appropriate under the circumstances.
