FIELD GUIDE
The story
The clearest measure of whether a Big Thing is doing its job is whether people give directions by it. This one passes.
Current listings for The Putt Hut at 72 Napier Road tell visitors to look for the giant golf ball opposite the cemetery. That is the whole function of a roadside Big Thing reduced to a single sentence: not an attraction to be visited, but a landmark to navigate by, more useful than a street number and impossible to miss at speed.

WHAT TO EXPECT
The giant golf ball was associated with The Putt Hut indoor mini-golf venue at 72 Napier Road, Palmerston North, opposite Terrace End Cemetery. Company-register aggregation now records The Putt Hut Limited as removed, its 72 Napier Road business address ended in February 2016, and the directory listing that described the ball now returns 'Gone'. No post-2016 evidence confirms that the ball or the venue remains.
ACCESS
Current presence unconfirmed. The giant golf ball was associated with The Putt Hut at 72 Napier Road, Palmerston North, but the operating company is recorded as removed and no recent evidence confirms that the ball or venue remains. Do not travel specifically to see it; direct navigation is withheld.
