In the MyEG app, when you pre-register a scorecard, I recently discovered you can delete these by swiping, but it asks you to put in a reason why. If you were to enter a reason and then go through with deleting the card, who does that get to? Who is it that reads the reason you've put in and what happens next?

It’s read by your C&H committee who will be checking all EG scores each day

They should also check to ensure rounds are attested properly and also they are pre registered
 
Where I play that sort of work falls to the office staff.

As a commercially orientated club I doubt they would have that much time to do it. I know when I was on the H/C committee several years ago we had around 40 GP cards a day going in and I bet that figure is even greater now, the time to check that lot would be a headache. I asked the County guy how many we should be checking and his reply was "just a random sample".
 
So, it goes to somebody at the club where you've registered the card - but there's a 50-50 chance whether anyone reads through them or not? Would that be about right?

I think it would be logged under your home club rather than the club you registered. As at my club my other half put in some general play cards and our handicap secretary deleted them as she had reached a Quarter Final of the knockouts and the rules say no general play cards once reached this stage. Which we were unaware of.
 
I've known people put things like "badger attack" and "lightning strike" to cancel GP rounds that weren't going as they liked. They weren't investigated. I don't think it's looked at very hard at either club where I've been a member.

That’s a new one on me. I bet EG would be spitting feathers if they knew about this.

It was a first for us as we would generally put cards in when we play other courses. What was funny was the handicap was cut by 1.7 and would have given the opposition more shots.

Hmmm did not know you could do this. A month or so we had to stop mid round as the wife got a phone call to say her eldest sister had died. When we came off I saw the mamger of the club by the clubhouse, so wlaked over to ask him what we should do, as we had registered on the app to input a card. His response was, after giving him the reason, that he didn't know, and by his demenour, didn't give a monkeys either, the nasty person that he is. I contacted my place and the Pro sorted mine by deleting it. I emailed the wifes Handicap sec, who came back quickly with a proper, sympathetic, response and confirmed she had deleted the round.
Sorry if I've posted about this before, but I can't get over what a nasty person this bloke is.

It doesn't say anywhere that you can swipe to delete it, I only realised when I swiped it by accident once and got the dialogue box I mentioned that asks for a reason for deletion! I did later delete one once when I'd registered a card but then we decided to play a betterball match with pick-ups, gimmes etc so not really compatible with putting a card in. I kind of just put a nonsense reason in because I was in a rush and didn't think anyone would read it, then I later wondered where it actually goes, hence I made this topic when I remembered.
 
There is a ‘Deleted Score Intents’ report available on the England Golf platform that is used by those with the appropriate admin rights, e.g handicap secretary / committee members.
I look at it, probably weekly, there’s no way of verifying the reasons but it is another tool available to the handicap committee, if someone was regularly deleting score intents for example it would show and ‘enquiries’ could be made.
I’ve only had to follow up on one occasion.
My understanding is that the only reasons for not submitting a card once started (intent) are injury or illness to the player, an emergency that requires the player to leave the course and dangerous weather conditions (lightning).

So if it starts raining heavily during a round undertaken for pleasure you can't stop.
The idiocy of these rules never fails to surprise..
