Agreed. If your landing approach gets unstable, go around and try again. Don't try to save things while close to the ground and bleeding speed fast.

If you know why the situation occurs (turbulence due to the wind over buildings for instance) you might want to try to land slightly further into the field (landing distance permitting) so you can punch through the turbulence with a bit more speed, less flap, and a bit more air under your wheels.
