Hedoman, do you know what kind of palm yours is? How close is it to your golf cart driveway? Any way you can post a picture? Unless you really want the palm gone regardless, I would consult a few others as to what may be causing the problem with your driveway. I've just never heard of palm roots causing this type of problem, unless it's really the trunk itself pushing against your driveway. Palm roots just don't typically grow & behave the same way oak tree roots do.
