Little helper script for zsh that I use to keep my go installations organized. Assumes there is a directory /usr/local/go that is writable by your own user account.

go versions installed in /usr/local/go:
1.8.2 1.8.3 1.8.4 1.8.5 1.9.1 1.9.2

Handy function to use along with this:
find_go_path () {
# place in .zshenv and append output to $path
local go_paths latest_version
go_paths=(/usr/local/go/*/bin(N))
if [[ $#go_paths -gt 0 ]]
then
latest_version=${${(On)go_paths}[1]}
print $latest_version
else
print /usr/local/go/bin
fi
}
This will automatically use the most recent go version found.
