well, normally i'd say that, but in this instance, as the guy said he's 
a newbie and is making a few mistakes with what he's doing. using 
landuse=brownfield for a golf course is a long way off what the tag is 
designed for.

when i started i came across plenty of things i wanted to tag that 
weren't in the tag system, but rather than jumping in without 
understanding, i mapped things that had a tag already, until i 
understood the system. then i started proposing tags

i don't know what more to say: brownfield and greenfield are not 
intended for how they're being used in this instance
