I played Lawsonia around 2006 and was not discriminated against.  Their vibe made me uncomfortable, that's all.  It looks from their updated website they have toned down the "religious" touting.

I will say however that this upcoming conference is troubling.  http://www.glcc.org/Files/Conferences/Men's%20Conference-All%20In.pdf

I'm a bit puzzled on this, I don't recall seeing a bible in my golf cart when I played there.

As for a ban on alcohol, I'd prefer they keep the gates open and run the concessions the way the want to as opposed to limiting access to those that are on the property for more secular reasons.

John,

I have to agree here, the banner title to this conference, "ALL IN", followed by the small print, "two men to a room"  makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

I would think someone who lives in Southern Indiana would be accustomed to being made to feel uncomfortable by religious types.

"His book, How to Build a Life‐Changing Men’s Ministry, provides the nuts and bolts
of putting together a men’s ministry that works. Steve’s latest
release, Mobilizing Men for One‐on‐One Ministry, is a practical
guide for personal ministry for any man whose heart’s desire is
to leave no man behind!"

I'm guessing there is very little time for cigars and golf with all this "...nuts and bolts... one-on-one...leave no man behind" stuff. 
Count me out pal.
