Waste of time. It will come back. You need to sort out the problem.
Drainage etc.
Not as taught by Sparsholt college . Ray Broughton says it is more
that grass isn't growing properly and moss taking advantage of that than
moss overcoming grass.
He says kill off and rake off moss then germinate good quality grass
seed and then scatter on bare areas, once you are able to give grass
good conditions (IYSWIM)

I always emphasise that moss is not a problem but a symptom. Grass
doesn't like waterlogged soil. OTOH I'm regularly lifting clumps of
moss out of my pond. It grows on the planting shelves about 6 inches
below the surface and occasionally deeper. I think leaving some in
there helps to keep the water crystal clear (if it's not the moss then
I don't know what's doing the job).
