Narrative:The pilot reported that he had not flown for several years and had just received training from a certified flight instructor.

After departing the runway, the airplane impacted a metal obstruction with the left landing gear, substantially damaging the tubular fuselage structure.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
