Narrative:
Aircraft was brought in fast (little) and slightly high to a grass strip (2800 ft). Landing was made and as the aircraft was slowed down, in order to prevent running past the end of the runway, the aircraft was ground looped and the right wingtip was cracked. A go around should have been initiated and another approach made. PF was not very current.
