Baking in the Arizona sun, Patrick Allgeier was drenched in sweat, hands blistered, sore from hitting golf balls at the pace that a mini-gun fires bullets on the driving range. He didn’t have a routine. Just golf. Having grown up in the typically overcast weather of Fort Wayne, Indiana, though, Allgeier’s body wasn’t used to the 115-degree dry heat, quickly getting dehydrated.

But the weather wouldn’t stop him. Never did. Never does.
