I think much the same problem exists with other club=value as well like club=chess? Nevertheless.. you may walk by a building with a tag something like a "chess-club" and if it is mapped as club=chess it is "correct". It is also fairly un-informative but we are supposed to map what we see and not do background checks of clubs with google or wikipedia?
