I was playing an extremely decorated amateur in a match in So Cal here and he asked me on the 6th hole if I wanted to go "good good". He had a six footer and I had a five footer, and he was 1-up in the match. He was definitely probing my experience because anyone in their right mind would NEVER go "good good" when they are down... EVER. I said, "I think we should putt 'em." He missed, I made, ALL SQUARE. Steam came out of his ears. I then dropped a 30-footer on him on the next hole and the steam turned to fire.
He went on to beat me 3&2 but I know he left with some respect for me. It didn't feel good to lose, but it was a nice consolation that this former national champion knew who I was now. We're very friendly to this day.
So, for anyone out there that plays any match play... if you're down in the match, NEVER EVER EVER accept "good good" unless going "good good" results in you winning the hole. Why anyone would basically concede an opportunity to win back a hole when they are down is beyond me, even for the worst of putters.
