Obtain go-mode from GitHub and generate go-mode-load.el
M-x update-file-autoloads RET go-mode.el
Put both  go-mode.el and go-mode-load.el  into a directory of  your choice,
add it to Emacs’s load paths via
(add-to-list 'load-path "/place/where/you/put/it") (require 'go-mode-load)
This will install autoload entries and associate *.go files with go-mode.
