Slow Growing Bermuda

I previously had a Bermuda lawn established from triangle seed in South Carolina. During the growing season this lawn grew very fast and had to be cut every 3 or 4 days to keep it short. I moved to south Georgia and earlier this year had Bermuda sod laid in the front yard and Bermuda triangle seed planted in the back. I did not have a soil sample done, something I plan on doing soon.

Since then I have fertilized per recommendations (Bermuda bible), kept it short, watered deeply when needed. I am somewhat satisfied with the establishment of the grass seed. One concern I have is the Bermuda in the front and back have been growing very slow all summer. I would guess that it is growing 3 or 4 times slower than the Bermuda I had in South Carolina. This has caused the turf to be thinner than I would like. Any ideas?
