Correct, but it's not very beautiful (unless you like looking at slate) and Donegal is certainly not in Northern Ireland, it's in the province of Ulster and contains Irelands most northerly point but it's still in the South (if that makes sense)

It's probably after seven games or a certain time interval as decent tennis balls get softer after being taken from their pressurized container even if not used. Would have to google to check.
