Another Fitting Question

Dallas area - First time fitting

I searched for club fitters in Dallas, and I was a little overwhelmed with the results I found. I thought I might open up the fitting question with some specific details.

#1 - I'm about a 20 hc. Shoot around 90 regularly. I'd rather be honest then spend money on something beyond my needs.

#2 - Money is a factor - I would like a solid fitting, but I am honestly not willing to pay $500+ for a full bag fitting. My game is not on that level at this point in my life, nor is my budget. However, I also have no idea what a full bag fitting normally cost. All I've heard about is the $100 that can be applied to your purchase that every shop seems to offer.

#3 - I'd like to be fit outside on grass. I just can't get the same swing or feel in off of a mat.

#4 - I would like to hit my current clubs side by side with anything they recommend. (I feel like this should be common, but I never hear about it happening. I'd rather pay to know my current club is a good fit then fall in love with something that fits the same but has the "new" factor)

#5 - I don't want to be pressured to buy that day. I want to know what doesn't fit on my current clubs, and what I need for future reference. I would rather stretch the fitting expense and club purchases out over time rather then dropping hundreds or thousands of dollars in a day.

Thanks for any input. If anyone has been through this process and has an info for a fitting virgin, I would love the input. Thanks everyone!

What about the Golden Bear Golf Center off Trinity Mills? Anyone ever been there? Any feedback?

I go practice at GBGC frequently..I've never had a full fitting there, but Austin (I think he's like [i]the[/i] fitter) did just reshaft my fairway wood and seemed to be really good at fitting...the people there are all very nice guys
