PLAY IT OR TAKE UNPLAYABLE
Ball sitting among deep leaf litter and scrub under a tree in the general area
You can clear those leaves (they're loose impediments — Rule 15.1, free of charge!) but the tree and scrub are still going to make this a proper adventure. If a swing is on after the tidy-up, crack on; if it's a jungle in there, declare unplayable for one penalty stroke and pick your escape route under Rule 19.

Always check the official rule. GolfRules.pro settles the banter. It is not the match committee.
