Golfers in Las Vegas are paying $550 (\u00a3452) to play on one of the most prestigious courses in the area, only to be followed around by a huge illuminated globe. That’s the bizarre situation guests at the Wynn Golf Club are currently faced with after the installation of the sensational Sphere venue on the Las Vegas strip completely changed the course’s landscape.<\/p>\n
The Sphere is a first-of-its-kind 18,600 seater music and entertainment arena which boasts an incredible 16k resolution wraparound LED screen and also features 54,000 m2 of exterior LED displays that can be seen from miles away.<\/p>\n
The breathtaking structure cost an eye-watering \u00a31.9billion to complete and is proving to be a first in more ways than one.<\/p>\n
Golfing social media personality Joseph Demare, also known as Joey Cold Cuts, has shared a video on Instagram showing just how distracting the Sphere can be to a player of any standard.<\/p>\n
The video shows Canadian Demare teeing off on a hole with a huge cartoon face on the side the Spere looking straight at him. After hooking his drive, the Sphere appears to follow his ball with a look of disappointment on its face.<\/p>\n

Demare wrote: “You know you suck when even the @spherevegas is trolling you after your tee shot.”<\/p>\n
Alongside Robert Berger (aka Bobby Fairways) and Nick Stubbe (aka Fat Perez), Joey Cold Cuts is the face of Bob Does Sports, a hugely popular social media group that has 500,000 followers on Instagram. Demare has 250,000 following his own account alone.<\/p>\n
The trio’s light-hearted approach to the sport has made their content hugely popular on the other side of the Atlantic. Demare’s tee shot being trolled by a massive emoji face is great for his intended audience, but dedicated golfers who want to play the par-70 championship course may disagree.<\/p>\n

The green fees are $550 (\u00a3452) during the golfing season. That may sound wildly expensive, but not everyone sees it that way.<\/p>\n As per Golf Weekly, Brian Hawthorne, the resort\u2019s executive director of golf operations, said: \u201cThere\u2019s different price points for every type of customer. And if you keep somebody from gambling for four and a half hours, we might be saving people money.”<\/p>\n ‘Entertainment’ from the nearby Sphere is now included free of charge.<\/p>\n
