To play it safe, I had to manouver away from the obstacles ahead, as I wasn't 100% confident I would clear them in case of flying the normal runway heading.
Thanks for all insights.
At the risk of being rude this description really made me cringe. POH landing distance is meaningless unless the approach is flown on speed and with the correct flight path. It would have been obvious at 100 feet AGL on final that the aircraft was going to fast and high on the approach path. The “touch” part of this touch and go was not going to work and the go part should have been been immediately carried out. Getting to the position where you have to do low level manoever is to avoid hitting the departure obstacles is how people kill themselves.
My criteria for a student on landing
for every landing is + - 2 kts and no significant power or pitch change to fly to the planned touch down point with the touch down occurring in the correct tail low landing attitude touchdown; from 100 feet AGL to wheels down.
Make a point of striving for that all the time not just on the short runways and you will never get into the situation you described
