As a temporary work-around, you can do this in a channel:
https://github.com/kat-co/guix-channels/blob/5c17bdd6c4ae801effdf1069df69ec4e2ce0a0dd/upstream/packages/golang.scm#L58-L59
https://github.com/kat-co/guix-channels/blob/5c17bdd6c4ae801effdf1069df69ec4e2ce0a0dd/upstream/packages/golang.scm#L818
Or maybe Ekaitz's suggestion might work.
At any rate, work is underway to bring Guix's default Go up to 1.19:
