   I need some fans on some of my greens. I am not sure about diameter, CFM, voltage needs, throw, amps, etc?
   Thanks guys.
   Feel free to call me at 856-630-0213 should you feel you might be an expert in the area.
   Thanks - Jeremy

   Jeremy,
   
   There are a lot of options out there. You are as much an expert on what you need as anyone. I can run you through my experiences when I purchased fans. Since then I have come across a couple different options you could consider, beyond obviously, price. I will try to call you soon to offer my advice or help if I can.

   We use turf breeze, all three are oscillating, two are electric which we had an electrician come in and put underground cable in and they both are mobile and. Can be pulled by an club car , the other is gas and can put it anywhere on the course

   We used Patterson fans years ago. They had a great booklet on how to space and lay out the fans, We found it very helpful compared to the others at the time Year 2000. But what I found most useful was the research we did about wind speed across the greens and compared to the distance the fans would throw.
   
   Good luck with your decision.

   Jeremy,
   
   We have 11 Turfbreeze fans at my course. The last one I bought was a 50 in. It throws a 3 mph breeze 150 ft. It is the quietest fan available. I have both single phase and three-phase units. No preference, your choice. Good luck. They are worth their price when conditions get tough!
