Narrative:

I was on short approach to runway xx at ZZZ. I established and maintained a stable approach. My two main wheels touched down gently; and as usual; I slowly lowered the nose wheel to the ground. As soon as the nose wheel touched the ground; the airplane veered briskly to the left towards the grass and despite my application of right rudder pressure to counteract the movement; the airplane continued onto the grass. I applied corrective rudder pressure to steer airplane away from obstacles and back onto the runway. Once stopped on runway; I taxied to [the FBO] uneventfully and without any noticeable abnormality to the airplane and without vibration. I then called a mechanic to evaluate the airplane and in particular; to check the nose wheel steering mechanism for proper function. This was not an accident and there was no criminal activity.
