Me either. In my previous post I was actually trying to point out the
problems with the landuse tag, rather than advocate it.

I think natural=beach is fine to describe an area of sand that
resembles a beach (regardless of whether humans have created it or use
it), just as natural=water tends to be used to describe an area of
water.

Surely these should be tagged golf_course=bunker, or something.
