I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. Don't take my word for it - look in a dictionary.
"Good" and "bad" are adjectives; the corresponding adverbs are "well" and "badly". When you are qualifying a verb ("do" in this case) you use an adverb. Adjectives are only used to qualify nouns. It's just plain wrong to use an adjective in place of an adverb (which is of course not to say that it's not commonly done, but that doesn't make it any the less incorrect).
