1. A golf ball comprising:

  • an inner core surrounded by an outer cover;

    a microprocessor, a power source, a receive and transmit device, and a piezo sensor electrically connected to one another and housed within said inner core;

    wherein the microprocessor is pre-programmed with information identifying the golf ball, wherein the piezo sensor is operable to detect when the ball has been struck and to subsequently activate the microprocessor;

    wherein the microprocessor is pre-programmed to (i) record data corresponding to one stroke upon activation (ii) to record a magnitude of force of said one stroke, and (iii) to subsequently ignore signals transmitted by said piezo sensor after said one stroke is received by said ball for a period of time thereafter correlative to said magnitude of force of said one stroke;

    wherein the receive and transmit device is operable to receive an incoming signal and to transmit the identification of the ball and any recorded data in response the incoming signal.
