I've got a smallish garden but I've noticed that one patch of grass (About a metre square) in my garden grows at about twice the rate as the rest?

Why would this happen?

Could be a number of things or a combination of factors, none of which I'd see as cause for worry. For example it might get more light or more water might collect under that particular patch.

Most likely though is that at some point some extra nutrients/fertiliser was added to that spot, perhaps a previous owner buried a few pets there?

I have a couple of similar patches in my back garden, I always just assumed that these areas had gotten bare in the past and had been resown with a slightly faster growing seed.

We drove some holes in the ground and it seems to have stopped happening... Could have been the water pooling there?

If it is like that, perhaps "pool" is the operative word - sounds like there was an ornamental pond which had been crudely filled in, and the holes you made punctured the membrane.
