Sports / Fitness / Recreation / sports metaphor in business
Japanese term or phrase: ハンディを突破する

neutral  Maynard Hogg: ハンディ supports other interpretations—especially since the author(s) used 突破, not 乗り越える.

Explanation:
Without a proper CONTEXT, all answers are just guesses.
A complete sentence is all we ask.

You mention golf, so rather than "physical (or mental) handicap (or limitation," I would suggest that you consider breaking (突破) past some border line expressed numerically: sales growth, return on investment, reduction of CO2, whatever.
