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...
Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets. To plant a pine, one need only own a shovel.

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 ...
