Golf ball with rfid inlay between a split core

An RFID ball reading system, the system comprising:

• an RFID reader that includes an antenna;
• an RFID golf ball further comprising,
• an RFID integrated circuit that includes a memory configured to store at least one unique identifier;
• a carrier material configured to receive the RFID integrated circuit;
• an RFID antenna electrically coupled to the RFID integrated circuit, the RFID antenna disposed on the carrier material;
• a compressible material split into two sections;
• the carrier material with the RFID antenna and the RFID integrated circuit placed between the split sections that are subsequently joined together to form a compressible core;
• and
• a molded shell that further encapsulate the compressible core.

A method for embedding an RFID tag into a compressible core, the method comprising:

• splitting a compressible material into two sections;
• placing a carrier material that includes an RFID antenna electrically coupled to the RFID integrated circuit between the two sections of the compressible material, the RFID integrated circuit includes a memory configured to store at least one unique identifier;
• joining the carrier material sandwiched between the two section in a mold;
• removing the mold;
• and
• generating the molded compressible core having the RFID housed therein.
