We all have buddies we go play golf with on the weekends.  So who’s the golf buddy for President Obama?  None other than Korean-American Eugene Kang.  Thanks to our friend Deb Price at the Detroit News, she notified us today that Eugene Kang was at Camp David, playing some golf with the most powerful man in the free world: President Obama.  He was also last spotted playing with the President back in December during a Hawaiian vacation of then President-elect Obama.  No matter how good or bad Eugene may be in golf, it’s pretty damn cool to be so close to the President and be his golfing buddy.

Eugene Kang, confidential assistant to the president and a native of Ann Arbor, is golfing with his boss today at Andrews Air Force Base.

Kang is something of a mini celebrity in the Korean American community because of his closeness to Barack Obama. Kang sets up phone calls and plans events, such as the health care town hall earlier in the year in Dearborn.

Kang played golf in December with Obama in Hawaii. Kang says Obama has a “really good golf swing.”

Check out the interview with Eugene Kang at the Detroit News.  Korean Beacon gets a nice mention.
