15 -- Green grass: why?

Jeanne F. remembers these sayings about Scotland's weather. Could this explain why the grass at St. Andrews is so green?

She writes:

I just remember three little stories that our guide told us about the weather in Scotland :

- Nine months of winter and three months of bad weather.

- When you can see the mountains it's going to rain and if you can't see them, it is raining !

- If you don't like the weather in Scotland, wait five minutes, it will change !

But, fortunately, the weather was so fine when we were in Scotland !
