Is it better to water the grass a little bit more frequently or a lot at one
time less often?

As deeply and infrequently as possible...

Deep watering is best.

Deep watering is best.

Ditto. I just heard it on the Paul Parent show this morning. Deep
watering minimizes evaporation loss. It's best to have a grass with
deep roots such as Tall Fescue. Black Beauty, Lofts Rebel II, etc.

We use a rain guage to monitor how much rain fall we got during the
week and then make up the difference with a deep soaking on either Sat
or Sunday.

Thought this might also be helpful ...
