Default Patio Villa Lawn Watering Frequency

Recently I got a call from the company who takes care of my lawn at my patio villa. He said that I have a fungus most likely caused by over watering. I bought my house new in Dec 2011 and haven't been there since April. When I was there I was told because of the drought that I was watering to much so I adjusted my irrigation system to the required once a week for 20 minutes. My lawn guy says fungus is caused by over watering especially with all the rain we have had. My question to others who own patio villas what is the frequency that you water your lawn and for how many minutes each watering? My lawn guy says I should be watering twice a week for 12 minutes each time. Appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Bob
