On April 11, 2025, Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California unveiled three bronze statues honoring golf course developer Marion Hollins, her dog Carlos, and course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie. The installation was commissioned by the Pasatiempo Historical Foundation, led by Chair Linda Sorensen and Vice Chair Emily Chorba.
Tom was selected to design several key elements for the site:
-
A custom donor bench featuring a sloped back and tilted seat with integrated drainage and custom colors. The bench was strategically placed to offer clear views of the first tee and sweeping vistas of Monterey Bay.
-
Two stone plinths to support bronze donor recognition plaques
-
A poured pad for the life-size bronze statues
-
An informational kiosk sharing the historical significance of Pasatiempo and its founders
This project highlights Tom’s ability to blend functional design with historical context - creating a welcoming, durable, and aesthetically aligned space that honors the legacy of Pasatiempo’s founders.
