In golf, players need to get the ball in the hole within a target number of strokes, called "par".

This one got me a bit stuck but after reading some documentation was able to solve this one. Wanted to post this if anyone else has any trouble that they can find an answer here as I don't believe this one has been answered yet. The switch statement below is straightforward but what I got stuck on was making sure that I was returning the value of each after it was evaluated.

package golf

import "fmt"

func ShotsDescription(par int, shots int) string {
    shotsOverPar := shots - par
    // YOUR CODE HERE
    switch shotsOverPar {
    case 1:
        fmt.Println("bogey")
        return "bogey"
    case 0:
        fmt.Println("par")
        return "par"
    case -1:
        fmt.Println("birdie")
        return "birdie"
    case -2:
        fmt.Println("eagle")
        return "eagle"
    default:
        fmt.Println("no description")
        return "no description"
    }
}
