The theory is that the guys who know something about SEO will have used all three of those keywords in the title of their page. Its those guys pages that you have to beat. The search query to use is - intitle:nike intitle:golf intitle:clubs This will tell you how many pages on Google have all 3 of those keywords in their title, and give you a better idea of your real competition. Google also has an advanced option for a search query like - allintitle:nike golf clubs - but I have found it to be a little inaccurate sometimes and prefer to seperate the words for a more accurate result.

u’ll also need to find a keyword that also recieve high searches for “used bla bla”

Less than 100,000 for sure does not have a lot of competition. If a phrase is mentioned less than 100 thousand times on the entire internet, but gets more than 150 searches a day, then it will be relatively easy to rank for. I know this from experience. out of those 100 thousand results 998 thousand of them are likely just one word mentions of some sort.... Kara,

My thought is that if I have an entire site dedicated to Nike Golf Clubs, and the sites in the top results only have a few pages, than I should be able to outrank them relatively easy." That's not how ranking works at all.... Finding a keyword with 100,000 results in quotes is not that good at all. It is still highly competitive for SEO. “What I’m really looking for is to see if there is an entire site devoted to Nike Golf Clubs.
