Ordinary Golf Membership Status - More 3

We have a reply:

===
Dear Linda,

I refer to your email dated 17 Nov 08.

We confirm you are holding an Ordinary Membership with golfing privileges. We do not have a category called Ordinary Golfing Membership, and no members hold a membership called Ordinary Golfing Membership. Even after we introduced the Ordinary Social Membership, the membership with golfing privileges continued to be referred to as Ordinary Membership in all our official correspondence. As mentioned in our earlier correspondences, when we referred to “Golfing” Members in our letter on the reduced subscriptions and in the website, we did so to differentiate them from “Social” Members – we apologise if this has led to some confusion. We have taken note of this and will refer to the various memberships by their proper names in all future correspondences.

As for the website, we have removed all types of membership as we are currently not selling memberships, and are preparing to completely change the website to reflect the new Club facilities.

Yours sincerely

"We apologise if this has led to some confusion".....?#!@#$@#$%@#$%

So it is our fault that we are confused. That they have been "confusing" prospect members with "Ordinary Golf Membership"? That they have used "Golfing Members" in their correspondences to us? Isn't this just a case of "over-marketing" with overstated exaggeration, embellishments and double-speak?

"we did so to differentiate them from 'Social' Members" - I agree. It is better distinction than "Ordinary members with golfing privileges". So just change it to "Golfing Members" then. What's the matter with doing that?
