Re: Newbie.. Is this a weed?
It looks to my untrained eye to be crabgrass. (Scientific name: Digitaria)
I know some folks do battle trying to get rid of it, but I was never a manicured-lawn person, so if it is green and can be mowed, I didn't worry about it. If it is crabgrass, I'm sure someone will share their tales of battle with you.

Agree.
It can be removed just with a knife or garden weeder. A little compost to fill the hole and encourage the lawn grass -- it should be better than before. Crabgrass is an annual plant and not very difficult to kill.
