Mostly the job is to hold the committee's hands, to provide continuity when green chairmen and even superintendents are coming and going, and to be a sounding board for ideas [many of which should be rejected as not suitable for their course].
But, it's sometimes a hard job, especially in a long-term capacity. Either the club sees how easy it is to make little fixes and yearns to do something bigger, or they come to believe that you're stalling them and they move on to another architect who wants to take action.
