Distance for a barkeep? (10)

I believe the answer is:

tenderfoot

(Other definitions for tenderfoot that I've seen before include "Greenhorn" , "Newcomer, novice" , "new employee of mine" , "Novice (chiefly US)" , "one still finding her bearings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
