Mainly used in American sports (football, baseball, golf) where yards are the primary unit. 100-yard football field = 91.44 m. Tiger Woods' typical drive of 300+ yards = 274+ m. A 1-yard touchdown attempt = 0.91 m. Fabric and textile measurements in the UK often use yards still (1 yard fabric = 0.9 m).
