THE ACFT CONTACTED TREES DURING A FORCED LANDING ON A GOLF COURSE. THE PLT'S COMPANY HAD JUST COMPLETED AN OVERHAUL ON THE ENG WHICH QUIT SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF WHEN THE PLT TURNED OFF THE ELECTRIC BOOST PUMP. EXAMINATION OF THE ENG'S FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED A BURNED OUT FUSE IN THE FUEL BOOST PUMP. THE PLT SUSPECTED WATER CONTAMINATION IN THE FUEL AS THE ACFT WAS WASHED JUST PRIOR TO THIS FLT.
