Every time I hit an error with Go (and I just did with this exact one), I just have to remember that the best solution is always the "nuke it from orbit" approach. They move fast and don't care about giving errors that actually make sense. Of course, I seem to forget this....so I went digging into why I was getting this error after months of it working just fine...turns out the version of go I had was more than a few months old and no longer works with the newer updated libraries. sigh
I had to kick out the EPEL version of go 1.13.3 and manually download the latest 1.13.7. Then it worked. 🤷‍♂️ 🙄

Use the latest version of Go :P
