not sure.. (I don't have serious sam) hoewever, the classic way is to use a bunch of quads with transparency.

Because they aren't drawing every blade. They have a grass texture that they slap onto a mesh with a couple of intersecting polygons in it. Repeat that mesh a few times and voila, grass.

There's a very good single surface grass thingy in the archives by jfk and masterbeaker. http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=807 Hope that helps some :)
