Hi u/Adorable_Bowl9512, it looks like you have a weed called wild oats growing there. When removing wild oats, the key to to get on top of it before the grass goes to seed and spreads further. To remove the wild oats, you can either look at pulling it out by hand, or selectively treat with a non selective herbicide like roundup or zero. When using these products, you will need to be careful to only apply it to the weed and not the lawn as it will harm it also. We recommend using a small paintbrush, a weed wand or the yates zero gel to help with an accurate application.
