Patches on newly-laid turf (May) despite regular watering — normal or a problem?

Hi all, after some advice on my new lawn.

Quick timeline:

- Turf laid 1st May (so it's about 9 weeks old now)

- Watered heavily morning and night for the first two weeks

- Then once a day for weeks three and four

- First cut at three weeks on the highest setting

- Cut again at week four, highest setting

- Cut again at week six, highest setting

- Cut again at week eight, highest setting 

- I've been giving it extra water on the really hot days we've had

It established well, but I'm now seeing some patches and I'm not sure what to do next.

Photos attached. Any idea what's causing this and how I should treat it? Cheers.
