April dates set for EG's il Primo Spring Get-Away to Binghamton (Photos)

It will be April in golfing paradise for players who sign up for Executive Golf’s 2013 il Primo Spring Get-Away to Binghamton.

“The always amazing il Primo Ristorante trip is on again,” said Andy Rajhathy, vice-president of Executive Golf. “This is becoming the trip of trips. Participants are in for much more than they could ever dream of when they register. There's always something new each year and this year won't disappoint.”

The weekend kickoff of the new golf season is slated for April 19-21 and includes rounds on the Conklin Players Club near Binghamton and a round on En-Joie Golf Club.

“The Conklin Players Club is so welcoming and operates one of the most enjoyable golf courses I have ever played,” said Rajhathy. “Ladies, guys, members, non-members … everyone is welcome and I am really looking forward to another bus ride and weekend with fellow EG member and il Primo’s owner/operator Craig Pederson and all the gents from the restaurant.”
