Yards and meters for pros

[whatwhatwhat]

Wow, your responses are always.....something.

Yeah.....yours too

Sean a metre is equal to 1.09 yards

A meter is 1.094 yards. Or as others have suggested here, just add 10% to the number of meters to get yards and it's close enough for any of our golf games - the pros also.

Others being me of course

Are we saying a yard is ~ 0.9 metres and a metre is ~ 1.09 yards?

I think some of us are saying that there's a big difference between .9 and .09 when you're multiplying.

hijack! Why is it called yardage and not distance?

To answer the original question, most tours have someone who does a 'yardage book' with all the measurements you will need - carry front bunker, to back edge etc. These books are purchased by the players and caddies and come in both yards and metres.
