Puzzle:

Two golfers were re-hashing their scores after they both played a par 5 hole. Harry said, "If I had taken one shot less and you had taken one shot more we would have tied for the hole."

Jeff then countered, saying "Yes, and if I had taken one shot less and you had taken one shot more you would have taken twice as many shots as me."

How many shots did each take?
