Robinson was born in Scarborough and learnt the game as a junior member at Woodhall Spa Golf Club in Lincolnshire, where his father and brother were also members at the time. He was a talented junior golfer and won the Peter McEvoy Trophy in 1982. Robinson studied Economics at Florida State University in the United States, where he was twice named Most Outstanding Athlete in the Metro Conference.[1] In 1987 he won the Brabazon Trophy, Berkshire Trophy and Philip Scrutton Jug before turning professional later that year having represented Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup (with a 2–2–0 record). Robinson is one of the few amateur golfers to have won both The Berkshire and Brabazon Trophies in the same calendar year, the others being Philip Scrutton (1952), Guy Wolstenholme (1960), Michael Bonallack (1968, 1971), Peter Hedges (1976) and Sandy Lyle (1977).

Robinson played on the European Tour and the developmental Challenge Tour between 1988 and 2002. He played in over 250 European Tour events. He had most success on the Challenge Tour where he won five tournaments. In 2009, he represented Great Britain and Ireland in the 2009 PGA Cup. Since leaving the tour he has worked as a teaching professional,[2] and is also a partner in Sports Masters International.[3]

Robinson is now a Director of BlackStar Golf and a member of European Senior Tour. His eldest son Ben Robinson is now a professional golfer having graduated from Louisiana Tech University.
