REally, what it comes down to is when you see something you don't like, simply do it better than they are. A lot of these sites don't rank highly for the same reasons you dont like them.
It also really depends on the keyword. remember, if you optimize a site for a long tail buyer phrase like buy golf clubs online, you are also already optimized for all the shorter keywords within that phrase such as buy golf clubs, golf clubs online, and golf clubs. although these are all highly competetive phrases, with some good seo, and time, you can rank for those as well, but the more competetive they are, the more time it will take. It would probably take loads of links to rank for a phrase like Golf Clubs, but your site optimized for Buy golf clubs online would be well optimized for it.
After that, it is simply a matter of writing articles about the various golf clubs avalable. think about how many different types of clubs there are, the different styles of shafts, different grips, etc... you can also use more general golfing tips on that site. write articles about the different types of shots, and which clubs are best for them, etc... IDK golf very well, but with my limited knowledge, those are just a few ideas for that particular niche.
a lot of it comes down to how well you really know your niche. the more you know about it, the better you will be able to create a site that people interested in that niche will like.
