I have a polygon of a piece of land, I need to place 9 points within the polygon at 10 ft centers. How can I do this without placing a point and using the ruler or doing a 10 ft buffer on the point?

You can also try creating Fishnet with an optional point dataset containing centroids of each cell.

or hexagons.... But make sure that you are using a hexagon's centres if they have to be 10 units in the diagonal direction as well.  If the axis oriented centroids are sufficient, then this would just be an extra step
