Your Tennessee home probably has Kentucky Blue Grass.....entirely different than St Augustine & Empire Zoysia. Southern grasses do need some watering in off season as their roots are still active. When you look carefully, your grass is not entirely tan (dormant) but still has greeness in the area near the turf surface.
