How do I keep coordinated on a windy day? I've noticed on windy days that keeping the aircraft coordinated can be difficult -- the ball will tend to bounce back and forth in the turn coordinator, and I will find myself "chasing" it with the rudder pedals.  

Any advice for managing this situation?  At cruise it doesn't worry me as much as setting up for approach to land. I think I've read too many stall/spin in the pattern stories lately...
Don't chase the ball.  Heck if you're VFR/VMC, you should barely be glancing at the ball or any of your instruments and should have eyes outside.  Remember flying a little uncoordinated alone is not going to force a spin.

Stall + Yaw = Spin

So how do we mitigate this during gusty approaches?  We fly a little bit faster.  I like to use 1/2 the gust factor and add that to my final approach speed.

I'm not saying accept being uncoordinated, but when it's gusty out you don't chase airspeed, so why chase the ball?
