Narrative:
I was downwind in a class golf airport when I noticed a lot of haze that I hadn't seen on the ground when doing a preflight so I complete the pattern while making a downwind; base; long final; and short final radio calls. After I touch down I was still traveling 30 kts trying to slow down and I looked in front of me to see a jet on short final. I debate turning the plane into the grass surrounding the runway but before I take action the jet completes a go-around to avoid a collision. I then make a radio call asking if there was another plane heading down the runway from me. The pilot responds by stating that he saw me and went around for the landing. I asked him if he had heard any of my radio calls or if he had made radio calls himself because I had not heard any. He responds by stating that he did not hear any of my radio calls. I then proceeded to taxi back to the FBO I rented my airplane from and parked and shut down. I then explained the situation to the FBO to have them check out the radios on the planes 100 hour inspection that was being performed the next day. I believe that the haze played a role in the close call. I also believe that because it was an uncontrolled airport and it is legal to land either direction that also played a role in the situation.
