yardages

Lengths in yards

Yardages is the plural of yardage—distances measured in yards.

The word appears most often in golf and football, where precise distances matter: The yardages on this course are printed on the scorecard.

A golfer studies yardages to select the right club; a football commentator tallies rushing yardages.
