Good answers. Thanks.
Do you know how much water you get in 20 minutes? If it is close to the top of a tuna or cat food can, then that would be fine. Otherwise you should give the water 15 to 30 minutes to soak in and water it again working your way toward 1 inch per week. That should be plenty to keep your soil together.
4x per year with corn meal is not nearly enough to really "densify" the grass. Bermuda needs much more serious fertilizer and schedule to look good. You could use soybean meal every month at 80 pounds per 1,000 square feet and just be telling the bermuda you were sincere. Corn meal is at the lowest end of the nutrient scale and soybean meal is at the upper end. Now corn gluten meal is at the very top of the list, so if that was a typo on your fertilizer, then still, 4x is not enough to help your lawn to help itself.
