The pilot extended the final approach to his home airport beyond his 'normal' touchdown point. The airplane touched down on the soft sod and encountered ruts that were hidden from view by recently mowed grass clippings. The pilot lost directional control and the airplane veered to the right, departed the runway, and collided with trees.
Probable Cause: the pilot's loss of directional control after landing. A factor in the accident were ruts in the turf runway that were hidden from view.
