Prior to 1982, the pro champion was based on the year end tournament, not
points gathered during an actual tour. So, results from 1975-1981 the winner was
the winner of NRC Nationals:
1981: Marty Hogan d Craig McCoy 9,12
1980: Marty Hogan d Mike Yellen 16,12
1979: Marty Hogan d Mike Yellen 10,14
1978: Marty Hogan d Charlie Brumfield 12,20
1977: Davey Bledsoe d Marty Hogan 20,19
In 1975 and 1976, there were competing Pro tours (NRC and IRA). So we'll list both champions here.
1976 NRC: Charlie Brumfield d Marty Hogan 8,(1),8
1976 IRA: Jerry Hilecher d Steve Strandemo
1975 NRC: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Strandemo 9,11
1975 IRA: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Serot (13),4,2
1974: There was an NRC Pro tour but no year end Nationals tourney.
Steve Serot had 2 wins, Steve Keeley 1 win, Charlie Brumfield 1.
Prior to 1974, there was no pro tour. Listed below are the Amateur/IRA champs pre 1974 (per USRA website). Note there is a bit
of disagreement about whether the 1968 title should count; it technically preceeded IRA and was not widely advertised as a "National" tournament.
1974: Bill Schmidtke d Steve Serot 16,(8),13 (corrected 11/1/08 from si.com archive article 6/74)
1973: Charlie Brumfield d Steve Keeley 8,(13),12
