[Spreadsheet updated through week 5](http://www.senorbeef.net/sdmb/YardageComp2012.htm), please check for errors. Please get your scores in, I had to look up like 5 or 6 people this week. You guys have been good about labelling which week these grades are coming from, but it definitely helps prevent any confusion as I reread the thread to input data, so please keep it up by labelling every post with which week it refers to. Week 5 scores: 1. Omni 473 2. RNATB 425 3. Wilson 394 4. Dalej42 392 5. Jules Andre 352 6. Justin Bailey 350 7. VarlosZ 305 8. SenorBeef 273 9. Drain Bead 244 10. FoieGras 204 ---
