Narrative:

Made first flight after four month inactivity in tailwheel aircraft. Picked perfect day; winds 230 at 8 kts; using runway 22. Made flight of about 40 min; then wanted to practice landings as conditions were good. First landing uneventful; second landing was bounced; not very high; but bounced; and left wheel contacted ground first; causing aircraft to jerk to the left. Countered with right rudder; and then started dancing with the airplane; always behind. Aircraft eventually ground looped to the left.damage was confined to aircraft; with no injuries except self confidence and pride. Right wing tip damaged and right landing gear folded under cabin. No prop strike involved; gear under the fuselage kept prop out of the dirt.to avoid this: 1. Keep proficient; without the lapse in activity which caused more rust in skills to accumulate than anticipated. 2. Had a few hours of dual after the lapse in flying. 3. Gone around at first bounce; setting up for proper flare with normal approach procedures.
