Bentgrass. It’s not trash, exactly, but it will continue to spread slowly and it doesn’t look great at normal mowing heights for cool season grass. That said, it’s usually not super noticeable unless you’re standing right on top of it and it can be a pain to get rid of, so most people don’t.

I have something that looks similar, but doesn’t seem to spread. It’s in a small area and doesn’t seem to grow very tall. It’s just one of the few types of grass I inherited when I purchased my home. I am going to overseed with a fescue mix this fall and see if it can fill in and conquer. I’m hoping the fescue can grow taller and choke it out.

Clumping fescue maybe? The rest of you are better than I at pictures, but that’s what I was told in my lawn a few years ago.

Like others have said bentgrass. It’s great if you want to mow under 1” like a golf course or a YouTuber. For the rest of us, it’s pretty undesirable. I followed Reddit advice to deal with my own bentgrass situation and it worked well. 3 tenacity applications, 2 weeks apart. Take out the dead stuff before the third application. Plant seed with the third application. Good luck!
