Draw a polygon programatically in ArcGlobe

All,

I need some very basic guidance. I am trying to draw a polygon on the globe in ArcGlobe programatically. I have the four corner lat/lon coordaintes of the polygon. I have looked at the snippet Add Graphics Layer to Globe and I believe I saw some sample code to do this using OpenGL but would prefer to do something similar to the Add Graphics Layer to Globe snippet. Here's the code I have so far. Please let me know if I am way off or not. Thanks!

        //Create a new polygon
        IElement polygonElement = new PolygonElementClass();
        //Set the geometry
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint ul = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PointClass();
        ul.X = -77.198348;
        ul.Y = 38.746170;
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint ur = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PointClass();
        ur.X = -77.195175;
        ur.Y = 38.748786;
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint lr = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PointClass();
        lr.X = -77.192939;
        lr.Y = 38.746437;
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPoint ll = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PointClass();
        ll.X = -77.195343;
        ll.Y = 38.744491;
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IPointCollection ring = 
          new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.RingClass();
        ring.AddPoint(ul);
        ring.AddPoint(ur);
        ring.AddPoint(lr);
        ring.AddPoint(ll);
        //Add the geometry
        ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IGeometryCollection polygon = 
          new ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.PolygonClass();
        polygon.AddGeometry(ring as ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IGeometry);
        // Add to the graphics layer
        polygonElement.Geometry = ((ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.IGeometry)polygon);
        ((IGraphicsContainer)m_globeGraphicsLayer).AddElement(polygonElement, 1);
