The question is why do we do touch and goes? Only reason is to get a few more circuits in a given time period.. In real life flying you are either going to land or you are going around....even go-arounds in Mooney are a handful with strong pitch up... Combine the strong pitch up with a strong crosswind ( the norm in Northam) and possibly a bounced landing (very, very easy to do in a Mooney)... I rarely do them in mine ...better to practice go-arounds
For takeoff and landing practice takeoff, fly the circuit, land, taxi back and do it again...especially on a strong crosswind.
