Solution

1. you can run snap info go, which gives you a list of go versions.

   `sudo snap info go`
   

2. Then you can install your preferred version with --channel like this.

   sudo snap install go --channel=1.6/stable --classic

This will also work for upgrade / downgrade to specific version after installation. For example you want to downgrade from 1.17 go version to 1.16

  `sudo snap refresh go --channel=1.6/stable --classic`
