My opinion is this,

Since AMA is in Muncie and the gentleman is in another state, I first looked at the Federal laws concerning discrimination, the ADA. I couldn't find anything that appears to apply. <snip>
Well that's progress. You're right if you have concluded from that fruitless search that the ADA doesn't apply.
JR already pointed this out, but I'll bring it up again in the hope that it might prompt you to reseach discrimination a little further: the ADA does not comprise the entire body of public law regarding discrimination. OR
You might consider the issue in moral rather than legal terms. A moral response by AMA and the club BOD would be preferable to the fight that will ensue to arrive at a legal disposition of the matter, don't you think?
