Tom wondered whether he was crazy for believing that her smile seemed friendly and flirtatious She was a very attractive woman, probably in her late 20’s. He then began to wonder what she was doing on his golf course, alone, at this late hour of the day.

Golf is an extremely difficult game. But if you combine golf and sex, you can’t go wrong!

GolfErotica—The Front Nine will take your mind off of the shanks, the four-putts, the triple bogies, and even the greenskeeper you knocked out with a wayward shot, and allow you to enjoy the game from a different perspective.

This compilation of short stories—at times humorous, serious, erotic, and titillating—finds its foundation in the world of golf. With tales ranging from a chance fairway meeting between a course superintendent and a newly widowed woman, to the headline-grabbing, dying request of a lifelong golfer to his playing partner wife, GolfErotica details the finer points of this popular game and also manages to spice up the fairways and greens with erotic energy. Let your mind wander and enjoy GolfErotica!

Description:
Previously, we showed that bacterial populations oscillated in a regular manner in response to a nutrient impulse in soil. For this paper we investigated if the wave-like fluctuations in bacterial populations could be explained by their interactions with populations of bacterial-feeding nematodes (BFN). In two microcosm experiments, soil bacterial populations-colony forming units (CFUs) and microscopic counts of stained bacteria and nematode populations in 22 families were monitored daily for 25 or 30 days after incorporation of clover+grass (CG) plant material into soil. In another microcosm experiment, dynamics of bacteria and nematode populations were monitored in response to gamma-irradiated plant material added to gamma-irradiated soil mixed with filtered bacterial suspensions and in non-irradiated soil. In the first experiment, soil bacterial populations fluctuated significantly after incorporation of the plant material with two peaks within the first week and three or four smaller peaks thereafter. Populations of total nematodes and BFN started to increase in the second week after CG incorporation, but the proportion of BFN increased within 1 week. Inactive juvenile BFN (dauerlarvae) seemed to be activated after 2 days (as the percentage of Rhabditidae increased and dauerlarvae decreased), followed by stepwise increases in dauerlarvae every 4 days, indicating that there was a new generation every 4 days. There were significant wave-like fluctuations in daily population changes of BFN, but not for those of total nematode communities, over the duration of these experiments. These fluctuations had similar periods (5 days) as those of bacterial populations, but were shifted about 3 days relative to the bacterial fluctuations. Gamma-irradiation of soil significantly increased the periods and amplitudes of bacterial oscillations. Nematode populations were eliminated in gamma-irradiated soils, but small numbers of protozoa were accidentally introduced in the irradiated soil, and may have been partially responsible for the delayed regulation of bacterial growth. We conclude that fluctuations in bacterial populations were not directly related to similar fluctuations in populations of BFN, as expected from classical Lotka-Volterra equations for predator-prey relationships, but were related to changes in growth rates of BFN. An alternation in active and inactive stages in a synchronized predator community after a disturbance could allow periods of bacterial growth alternated with periods of death. Fluctuations in bacterial populations were dampened after a much longer period when the soil fauna was largely eliminated. .
