Default Fescue seedheads?

Could you not have just sprayed the tall stalks with a spray

As long as you don't get the stuff on your desired grasses,
it should work OK... Takes about a week to kill the bad stuff..

No, because it's impossible. Most of the spray winds up on the other
grass, not the thin stalks that only stick up an inch or two above the
desirable grass. You can try to apply it with a sponge, but besides
being very tedious, the Roundup only gets the very tips, not most of
the plant, so even with a lot of work, the outcome is not certain.
