Nothing against UF, heck I bleed orange and blue, but a horticulture degree can be obtained from most any college in FL or the US, and the Master Gardener's program though fun and informative, is far from a degree in horticulture and very light in the palm information category.
My suggestion is find someone with extensive palm tree experience and a true higher education, and have them look at the tree. Not ask a person with a couple dozen hours learning about a wide variety of horticulture subjects and 40 hours of volunteer service.
Palm trees are expensive, the wrong diagnosis could cost you the tree.
