1. A shot tracking device for attachment to a grip of a golf club, the shot tracking device comprising:
- a housing;
a battery disposed within the housing;
a circuit board disposed within the housing, the circuit board having a first side and a second side;
a sensor disposed on the circuit board; and
a plurality of board components disposed on the first side and the second side of the circuit board, the plurality of board components comprising a microprocessor;
wherein the shot tracking device transmits a signal when the golf club strikes an object, the signal comprising an identification of the golf club, the microprocessor configured to deactivate transmissions of the signal when a threshold number of signals are transmitted by the shot tracking device and a receipt signal is not received by the shot tracking device, the threshold number of signals ranging from 5 to 50.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for conserving power for a shot tracking device for attachment to a golf club. The method involves transmitting a plurality of signals from a shot tracking device attached to a golf club. The shot tracking device is enabled to determine that a threshold number of signals has been transmitted by the shot tracking device and a receipt signal has not been received by the shot tracking device, which in turn deactivates the shot tracking device until a predetermined event occurs.
