Clearing memory on an iPad

GolfinDoog reports that you need to take special action to close down running programs on the iPad to help Golfstar run more smoothly.  I do not own one, but I wanted to post it in case it could help some of you.

Need to set something right: THIS MAY HELP OTHER PLAYERS WHO ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH CRASHES! Note that I am justlearning to work with an iPad2! Recently I could not get past the home screen w/o crashing; ie, getting "kicked out".I discovered after much exploration via google thatI had not sufficiently cleared my iPad2's memory--it's not like a PC where you just close a tab. You MUST double-click your home button, then"slide" remaining open windows off the top of the screen to fully "clear" them. Also, simply hitting the "off" button on top left of iPad is NOT "rebooting". To do that, you have to HOLD down the "home" button until it says "Slide to off".Only THAT "reboots" the iPad. Since doing this (I had about 20 different "open pages" eating memory) the game has so far run fine. If you're having the "crash" issue, you might want to try these steps!
