As for his current work, Robinson says he has no plans to take up golf full time. (He regularly shoots his age.) He has survived battles with prostate cancer and a benign brain tumor and says he still feels up to the task of scouting. "I don't see any reason to [retire]," he says. "I'm able to do it, and I still love the game. So why should I stop?"
