New Turf Problem - Watering?

Hi all,
I have just laid my new turf in my back garden. The majority looks good, however there are about 10 patches that have some discolouration on the edges...see below.
Is this because it needs more water, or it's had too much. I watered as I was laying as it was hot. Then watered it twice yesterday and again this morning.
Also how long should I water it for at this time of year? I water it for about 20 mins (twice a day) and move the sprinkler after this time period.
Thanks
Sam

Right ok, i think they dried out a bit when laying as i took a few photos half way through and you can already make out slight discolouration.
I left the spinkler on each area for 15 mins this morning, yesterday was like 20-30 mins, however my water pressure isn't great so i don't think i over watered.
i haven't walked on the grass yet, I have been throwing the spinkler hose on there and then drag it back. fingers crossed it perks up :-/ Thanks for the response
