Greg,
It sounds to me as if HH is crafting a hole that demands a drive to a set location, but, no further, wherein the golfer who does not reach that location will be penalized.
While it's not of the strict geometrical shape you describe, the 8th at Pebble Beach would seem to be the kind of hole he had in mind, in that the drive is limited, giving the golfer who reaches the approach to the edge, a straight in shot, but, the golfer whose drive is short and/or lacking, will have an impossibly difficult approach.
That's been my experience on # 8
