Overheard on SpongeBob (in this snippet, Mr. Krabs is talking to himself):
"How does it feel to be in the hole, so to speak, Mr. Krabs? Not well, I suppose."
Nope. It doesn't feel good, Mr. Krabs.
The idiom here is "it feels good to such and such." You would never say, "It feels well to such and such."
