The NFL offseason has officially been underway since that dud of a Super Bowl ended in February. But no team—or fanbase—really took a rest until the completion of the NFL Draft earlier this month. And now, even the most hardcore football sickos are taking a break from the game.

That includes Jim Harbaugh, who is as big of a football guy as there is on the planet. But earlier this week, the Los Angeles Chargers coach was in full-blown vacay mode, playing golf. And playing golf well!

Have a look at the former NFL QB showing off some soft hands, spinning back a wedge shot to close range and converting the birdie putt. And we know it's a birdie putt because someone says, "You can't birdie them all if you don't birdie the first." Hey, he's right. Anyway, have a look and listen:

Impressive stuff, Coach. As Shaq would say, "I wasn't really familiar with your game."

OK, now back to prepping for the season. That AFC West is going to be tough.
