I wouldn't worry about it. There are any number of stories
from people who opted for go-arounds during their checkride
because they weren't happy with the approach, yet still
passed their checkride.

I go-around is indicative of good judgement. You aren't always
going to have a nice approach, and that's that.

It's a lesson I really need to learn, myself.
