What\'s the easiest way to get an official handicap?
I feel like a total doofus asking this because I've been playing for like 12 years. I've always calculated it myself.
I'm not a country club type guy, so I don't want to join a private club. So what's the easiest (cheapest) option? I live in the Austin area, if that matters.

i started entering scores in yahoos. It seems to have most golf sites (certainly the ones I play at have been there). But yeah, I saw that there were more than a few sites to choose from.
Yahoos one you can enter round scores or holebyhole. I assume others are similar? I don't know what the matters, but I'm sure it is crooshal.

Give the usga.org site a visit. I'm sure they'll be able to help. Usually you can play at some public/muni courses and send them into an org. (might be the USGA) and they'll give you a h'cap.

I would start at the state association. Call them or check their website and find out. My guess is that you can pay a fee either directly or through a public course and get a handicap.

They will have all the courses in a database probably and you can enter your scores online if they are with it. After a few rounds you'll have a handicap. Make sure you play by the rules though or it's meaningless.
