Narrative:
There was aerobatic show at my home base airport. I was returning from a short cross country and switched from approach to CTAF and called pattern entry left base runway 8 and final. Another plane took the runway while I was on short final without [broadcasting on CTAF].I climbed for a go around and [made a] left turn at mid field. I saw the departing plane on TCAS only during the go around while climbing. The departing pilot advised me over CTAF that we were within 50 ft of each other prior to my left turn. I never saw the other plane after initiating my go around.
