Default Average function assistance

I need help with developing an average function for a golf league. We use an
avarage of the last 5 scores posted to develop the person's handicap. Each
week a new score is added to the data and a new average calculated with the
5th oldest score being dropped and newest score being included in the
average. The data is kept on the worksheet in rows. Because a golfer may miss
a week, some rows may have blanks that should not be considered.

For example a person's scores may look like this for the season:
45, 47, blank, 44, 48, 46, blank, 49 (the 45 is the earliest score and 49 is
the latest score). I want the formulae to consider the 5 non zero scores from
the oldest - 49 (right to left).

I was given this formulae:

=AVERAGE(TRANSPOSE(OFFSET(A1,0,LARGE((1:10)*(COLU MN(1:1)),{1,2,3,4,5})-1)))
+ control/shift & enter

However I could not get it to work.
