If I hit 18 greens and two putted each green I would consider it a huge fail. Very few amateurs hit 100% of their greens. They don't chip it close all the time so saving par with a one putt is a success. Consequently, if I'm under 30 putts I know I did my job and save par with some solid putting.
Like I said when I opened the thread, everyone judges success differently. There is no one answer that is better than the next. I believe you said score. Well, what score?
Depends on the course. I'm currently playing to a 12, so generally anything under 82 83 I call a success. Statistics help me see where I need to improve, for instance, all my best rounds have come from higher GIR numbers. But those statistics tell me nothing about whether I've had a successful round or not. Like you say though, everyone is different.
