If you are getting too low, carefully monitoring/adjusting your speed, RETRACT FLAP to reduce the ROD.
If you have flap down to retract then you have almost certainly taken it too early, flap should really be left until below 1,000' agl and when you are CERTAIN you are going to make the field, above that you should be using manouver to lose the height!
