Self-recording golf ball, golf ball cup, and reading divice system

A self-recording golf ball and cup system comprising:

• a. a golf ball having an inner core defined by an outer cover;
• b. said golf ball further having 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 of said golf ball;
• c. said microprocessor programmed to record data corresponding to strokes received by said ball, and to transmit said data, via said receive and transmit device, to a second microprocessor;
• d. a golf ball cup for receiving a golf ball;
• e. said golf ball cup comprising said second microprocessor, a power source, a receive and transmit device, and a piezo sensor electrically connected to one another and mounted on or within said cup, such that when said ball strikes said cup piezo sensor upon entering said cup, said cup piezo sensor activates said second microprocessor, wherein said second microprocessor is programmed to receive and record said data stored in said ball microprocessor and subsequently transmit, via said cup receive and transmit device, at least a portion of said data to a remote computer for display or storage therein.

A self-recording golf ball and cup system comprising:

• a. a golf ball having an inner core surrounded by an outer cover;
• b. said golf ball having a microprocessor pre-programmed with identification information corresponding to said ball, a power source, a receive and transmit device, and a piezo sensor electrically connected to one another and housed within said inner core of said golf ball;
• whereby when a stroke is received upon said outer cover of said golf ball, said piezo sensor generates a voltage to activate said microprocessor, wherein said microprocessor is programmed (i) to record said activation as data corresponding to one stroke, (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;
• c. said microprocessor further programmed to record subsequent stroke data upon activation by said piezo sensor until later activated to erase said subsequent stroke data;
• and
• d. a golf ball cup for receiving said golf ball when said golf ball is struck therein, said cup having a microprocessor, a power source, a receive and transmit device, and a piezo sensor electrically connected to one another and mounted on or within said cup, such that when said ball strikes said cup piezo sensor upon entering said cup, said cup sensor activates said cup microprocessor, wherein said cup microprocessor is programmed to receive and record said data stored within said ball microprocessor and subsequently transmit, via said cup device, at least a portion of said data to a remote computer for display or storage therein.
