beginning gardener is wondering how often to water freshly planted grass

Every other day is a good plan, unless it rains. Straw will greatly
help retain moisture and protect the seed from hungry birds. You can
reduce watering to 1" per week after the first mowing. The straw will
eventually decompose.
