Add 10% to the metres. 10 m is about 11 yd, against an exact 10.94, so it reads 0.6% high.
Sports fields, fabric and golf distances use yards. A drive of 150 m is about 164 yd, and a 100 m sprint is 109.4 yd.
A metre is slightly longer than a yard, not shorter, so do not subtract. Keep yards apart from the 3-foot "yard" in other contexts.
The yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 m, fixed in 1959. One metre is therefore 1.09361 yards.
