And here’s where Tee to Play diverges from previous Fairway games. Irons are numbered one through nine and are either granted randomly or can be bought using golf bucks you earn during gameplay. You’re allowed one or two undos (meaning, if you draw a card from the deck prematurely and miss a match, you can back up one or sometimes two cards) and can use different golfing irons to help you finish off each hole.
