I'm not understanding the problem. Most lawns in the Villages are St. Augustine, Bermuda Grass, or Zoysia. None of those are actual grasses and in the north, they're all considered invasive weeds. So you now have another invasive green grassy-looking mowable thing growing in your lawn. Why not just mow it along with the rest of the lawn? It doesn't look any worse to me than the growing astro-turf you folks call Zoysia. At least torpedo grass adds a touch of interesting texture and the pale underside of the leaves gives the lawn a shimmery look in the right light.
