Unfortunately, there seems to be a stigma attached to executing a go around. Many people think that they are "less of a pilot" if they can't "salvage" or "rescue" and approach or landing.
When an incident or accident occurs, the question is always asked, "Why didn't you go around?"...and in hindsight, there is almost never a good reason to have continued.

My decision to go around usually results from bounced landings. If I bounce twice, or too high the first time, I pour the coals to it. Sometimes, I wish I had ground spoilers. (I've found that looking at the end of the runway, really helps with this---something I learned a million years ago, and then completely forgot about.)
