I'm going to be a bit different here and suggest learning how to set up an airplane to handle the wind. Granted this does not work on all airplanes but it does on most. The object is to adjust CG, thrust angle, wing/tail incidences so that the airplane reacts less to the wind. Most airplanes out there are being flown in a nose heavy condition. For decades this has been taught as more stable. I suppose this is correct to a certain degree. For a beginner it makes the elevator somewhat softer and helps maintain airspeed during landing approach. On the flip side it makes the elevator trim fluctuate with airspeed changes. Gusting wind to the airplane is just that, airspeed fluctuations. Now if the airplane carries some positive wing incidence then some down thrust to compensate for it, you can easily see what kind of a battle one would have in the wind. Jester is correct in suggesting a SPA classic pattern airplane as those designs are usually sorted out pretty well. My sport flying airplane is an SPA legal MK Aurora. When you have an airplane the as everything working in unison it is much easier to fly in the wind and will make you look like a wind master provided you practice using rudder.
