Why Is My Grass Becoming Straw Like Despite Frequently Watering

Question

I laid turf about 8 months ago. It has been fairly slow growing and is now becoming almost straw like with lots of dead blades. I water it frequently and cut on a high setting once a week. The garden is south facing. We also have another front law facing East which is growing fantastically. Can anyone help advise on where I may be going wrong please?

I do see signs of infection. Unfortunately, this can be the luck of the draw, even, with perfect care! A fungicide of your choice will be necessary.
