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.
