Paul Casey Quotations

There is a lot of golf still to be played this year and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year.

Making a difference is essentially the most interesting aspect of my job. I would like to apply my background to the Senate.

Most people understand that if the state is well run that their community is better off. I think that is a message that resonates with everyone. And people know I have a good reputation and a clear record of success.

People write about it, but I wasn't worried about it. I've always been a streaky player.

People write about it, but I wasn't worried about it -- I've always been a streaky player,

People write about it, but I wasn't worried about it, ... I've always been a streaky player.

I have had a lot of feedback about my remarks and 99.9 per cent of it makes me regret what I said,

I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, I'd like to figure it out and transfer it onto any course around the world.

I couldn't hit the ball to where I wanted to. Clearly looking at the scores, I wasn't swinging it very well and that shows on the card. It has been frustrating really. I got to seven under, which was as good as I could do. A good week, but it was a frustrating day today.

China was obviously a very successful Tour destination for me in 2005.

I have my closest friends and family members working on the campaign with me. I feel very fortunate to have the support of so many people.

I think it's a great school. It's got a lot of new technology and the best teachers.

I think the need for the middle school students to have some place to be besides the street is a key one.

I welcome any chance I have to defend a title. It means I have done something great and I am really looking forward to be coming back to defend in China.

I saw him from a distance out there and he was smiling and strutting.

Overall I am very happy. I can't be too frustrated - I feel I am getting back to where I want to be.

Our numbers are growing in our regular program as well.

whoever can do the job when the time is right, do it.

There are a lot of reasons for being here, but the chance to build up a bit of confidence is certainly one of them,

We have been incredibly successful with the Father-Daughter Dance.

Continuing education reform is very important. But the bottom line is we have to maintain a way to gauge or measure achievement, the MCAS exams, to justify spending so much more money that we did 10 years ago.

I've been elected nine times, ... I've seen and done most things that a representative can do. I went from a freshman rep to chairing one of the most elite committees ? the Joint Committee on Taxation.

It was tough out there. It sorted the men from the boys but that is why we play, it is a challenge and it was quite a lot of fun out there.

It was tough. It picked up when we got to 11th and 12th and by then it was fierce. But that's why we play. It's a challenge. Actually, I quite love playing out there.

It was very windy out there and I am happy with a 68. I struck it nicely and if I can continue to hit the ball the same way I will be happy. The wind can be very confusing, it swirls around and it's easy to misjudge a few approaches.

That's good, it means I don't have to bribe him,

A lot of people say we should revise the tax code to raise more revenue. Overall, I'm more moderate. We have to keep our revenue and expenditures in line with our growth. It is like a family check book. Our spending must be within our means. It sounds simple, but it is a philosophy that escapes many people at the State House.

There's always pressure but playing in front of your home crowd could be almost overwhelming.

It was really unfair and distracting for Scott. People think they're going to get at me but all that happens is they aggravate the other player.

It's nice because nobody has a hugh advantage. I actually quite like playing in an event that is brand new and nobody knows what to expect.

Sweaty hands. I slipped that ball into the bunker. It was frustrating.

I'm not for raising the income tax rate, but I'm not for lowering it. If we were to lower it, it might just have the same effect as it would to shoot a cannon into a sinking ship.

I made a lot of birdies, which is good. That was my goal,

In Medford and Somerville it is a bit of a tough sell. I'm not the local guy, but the issues don't change,

I'm very happy with the game, it's right where I want it to be,

I'm very happy to be back and it's exciting to be back and trying to defend the title. I love the golf course here and it depends on the weather. Today it was difficult but last year was a lot of fun, wonderful conditions and great for scoring and a great tournament.

I really enjoy being here. And it is a perfect tournament to build some confidence.

But I'm only four behind and I have shot 62 here before (in 2002) so I will be reminding myself of that. The scoring has been very good so it's definitely possible.

I don't know if this is the hottest day of the week so far here,

The level of state aid to education is always a hot button issue,
