Seed heads in lawn

...
I have a couple of areas of lawn that I have been trying to maintain to a
high standard over the last 5 years, to get that green carpet effect. I
feed, weed, mosskill, water and mow with a cylinder mower regularly.
It has been going quite well but suddenly this year I have large patches
of whitish seed heads appearing in a number of areas. It is obviously
some sort of grass, so I don't suppose it will be affected by lawn
weedkillers. I've lowered the cutters on my mower which removed some, but
nothing like all of the seedheads.
Any ideas about how I can discourage this stuff?
TIA

Hi Steve,

have been battling for years on golf courses it is low seeding so not very
drought resistant plenty of scarifying will help but u will nevr get rid of
it.
