His connection to the Monterey Bay Area is through Marion Hollis who with her financial backer proposed using land that was part of the Rancho Carbanero land grant to build her own golf course. This course called Pasatiempo is not as well known as Cypress but has all the hallmarks of Mackenzie’s artistic touch.
